"Not like everyone else does, different spark plugs give you more power, some burn hot, some burn slow, cold.. The spark plug can give you MAJOR power/throttle increases."
Whoa!!! Hold the boat!! Sparkplugs (other than the recommended stock OEM) can give you a major power/throttle increase? Now I am not a mechanic but I have been involved in snowmobile racing and engine mods for a number of years and if what you are saying is true then it is one of the best kept secrets around. I have made minor mods to plugs knowing that there would be a MODEST hp increase (detectable only through a dyno test) but I have never seen or heard of major performance increases through a simple plug change.
And BTW, according to the dynos, splitfires do not make any more power.
Just my $.02 worth.

Its true its all true!!!
When I had my YZ80 you had a choice between three plugs to use a BR7ES(cold) BR8ES(moderate)
BR9ES(hot). Now I know that this is a different kind of engine than what is in most of our quads but the differance between the 7 and the 9 was a huge, the bike screamed with the BR9es plug in it.
When I first got the bike I had to get a BR7es because the plug that was in it was too much for me.With the 7 in it the rpms stayed down and the power band was short and brief. But with the 9 the rpms were high and the power band was litterally never ending, there was a lot more tourqe and a poop load of more power.(notice I did not swear)
I think that changing the plug in your atv will make a huge differance. I say go for it!!!
I am going to talk to my dealer to see what he says. Then I will get back to you.
