I change plugs when I have it dyno tuned, then the next set of new plugs comes with a new bike. I also change out all the light bulbs, the belt, shocks and forks when I change out the bike.

Once a season or every 5K miles, whichever comes first with Mobil 1 V-Twin synthetic in the engine. Red Line shock proof in the trans and Red Line specific in the primary. Plugs every 20K.
Congrats on the new scooter!

The 100,000 miles plugs in some cars are Iridium tipped plugs and $$$. Harleys use standard plugs.
