The best combustion ignition will come from a single electrode, unshrouded, in the center of the combustion chamber. Multiple points on a plug only shroud the spark more.
PT Barnum was right.
I use 6R12 and change them every 15 K ( as mentioned on the maintenance manual), some use GKN platinium and it seem the idle ans performance are better.
Every winter hibernation (which is short here in Mustang Oklahoma) I change all three holes and the spark plugs, staying with the HD plugs, never a problem even 44,000 miles later. Wife and I rode to Kansas last weekend, averaged 39MPG (two up at 75MPH) and rode 176 miles before filling up, and still had .8 of a gallon left in the tank.
