PLUGS AT 10,000
I was reading in the owners manual about every 10,000 miles you should change your spark plugs. I have 24.500 and have never changed them. I do my own service. The bike is running great. Do you guys change them like it says?

RE: PLUGS AT 10,000
I changed mine at 10k. Did it more so because of the 95" build and the map I was running on my pclll. The map was slightly off for my specificbike so I will probably change them again once my Tmax dials in my bike. I would change them if I were you. Can't hurt. Not like the bike will run worse with new plugs that are gapped right.

I replace mine every 10k like the manual says and also carry a spare set in my saddlebag. If you carry a spare set, make sure to check the gap before hand. They're supposed to be pre-gapped from the factory, but you never know. Or carry a gap gauge.

I'm sure they will last a lot longer, but as mentioned, they're cheap, and there are only two of them. I've been told to just buy the normal HD product. I also like to change them to make sure that the metal of the plug and head aren't seizing together.

Thanks guys for the replies, I'm replacing them tomorrow. I was looking at them and thinking they are getting a little rusty, so thought I would ask. The seizing part makes sense too.

RE: PLUGS AT 10,000
I tried the screaming eagle triple platinum plugs and the motor seems to start up a hair better but other than that I could not tell a difference though they seem to be burning cleaner when I checked them, about 7k on them so far and I use anti seize when installing the plugs.
