How often do you change your plugs? I usually change mine every year but my mates only change them every other year. I do notice that when removed they don't look that bad

I too do as you do... change them every year... it gives me piece of mind that they won't give me any trouble later in the year.

Mine as well, don't show that much. Usually just a little black but not enought to be considered major carbon build up...

Great thread too! :dthumb:

You should change them once a year..but I haven't mine runs so well, and last time I pulled them out they still looked great. Same NGK plugs from November 2003 with about 15,000 miles on them.

I normally agree SV...but the real question is "Do we have to?"

I know a few guys that haven't changed theirs and their bikes are like 4 years old with 10K on em...

Mine are supposed to be changed at 16k, but I was lazy and didn't change them until around 20k. Still ran perfectly fine though and the old plugs still looked great

If it runs great and the plugs are still in excellent shape why mess with it I guess.
