Change mine every 10,000 or once a year. They are cheap.

Just changed mine out at 10,000+.

Front plug looked like it was running rich (dark black), rear plug was light gray.

Running V & H Fuel Pak....

Suggestions/Comments... (other then ditching the Fuel Pak)

Stock plugs at no more than 10,000 miles. I was chasing a ping in my tune for the better part of two weeks. Plugs looked fine and were properly gapped. I changed plugs and the ping vanished. Anything other than the stock plug is going to goof with the ion knock sensing.
