re: The low down on spark plugs
I got stung on sparkplugs for years on my ZZR1100 and 1200. I was paying between $10-12 each for them, which made them a $40-50 set of plugs. Went to MTM in Goodna for tyres and he sells them for $3 something- so a set now costs just over what one did in the past. I'm sure lots of people have got suckered there..... 

2 X ZRX1200R 4 X ER6N, GT550, 1988 ZX-10, 4 X GPZ250R, 4 X GPZ900R and GPZ750R
Yeah I like Kawasakis.
