    Installed Bosch Fusions on my zed.

    Did not notice any improvement over standard.

    Stick with OEM. Cheaper.

    I am very happy with my Brisk spark plugs, a little expensive, but worth it if you make good use of them.

    You only get one spark down the lead, if it splits into 4 then you have 4 weaker sparks rather than one big spark???

    No, the electrical charge will take the path of least resistance, so it will go to whichever tip provides that.

    incorrect, you still get one same spark as it takes the path of least resistance, so if 2/3 of the prongs fail it still has 1 or 2 to use, i use them only because they last 100,000kms or so and changing plugs is a pain on the v8

    Would it be safe to say that plugs won't give you any difference in ignition if your coil pack still delivers the same charge

    So you still only get one spark.
