Can you just unscrew the tip off the old plug?

an iridium plug is and upgrade from the factory plug, 100% designed replacement upgrade. and no, it wont twist off from the factory, i tried and it cracked the white part on the plug, it was an old plug anyways tho. and yes, the iridium plugs do improve performance. i put one in my rancher and it sounded better and ran smoother and revved quicker. i just need the little tip that goes ontop of the threads to make it snapon for the polaris. the hondas fit the threaded tips.

I had the exact same problem when I put the iridium in mine. I just went to oreillys auto parts and they found a cap for me for free.

By the way the bike will run better with the iridium. mine did, I don't care what anyone else says about it, whether it should or should not work, but it does.

You are right, not all plugs have the screw-on tip. Might check the part stores or a repair shop. All tips may be the same.( cars,lawn mowers ect.)
