anyone ever use champion spark plugs for anything. i just put one in my raptor 660 so far it runs good

 

I've used them, quite a few actually. They come in handy when I don't have access to an NGK. No complaints and I will not hesitate to continue using them.

 

I've used them in the mid 80's and I will never use them again. I got soured on two that were DOA out of the box. I was told by a couple of old timers that they changed the way they made in the 80's. True or not? I have no idea. I ask for anything else before I will go back to a Chumpion. Do they make a good plug now? I have no idea. I haven't used them in over 20 years; and haven't had a plug failure in over twenty years.

 

i just recently experimented with champion verses ngk plugs, both are good plugs, however this is my opinion and i was hoping to get others opinions on this matter as well. the experiment was performed on a stock 04 raptor 660 no engine work at all i used ngk for 6 months and switched to champion for six months the ngk after six months the outside metal starts to deteriate it loses it just out of the box appearance, champion does the same, faster start up when the bike is cold with ngk. the bike idles smoother with ngk, champion starts up the same. however does not idle as smooth, ngk over champion for the raptor

 

My feelings are similar to Doctorturbo's. Except I havnt used one since the late '70s. Now I prefer Autolite's.
