How many miles/hours on the plugs?

First the rear brake, now the plugs, I think it's time to tear that whole thing apart.

I think I used those all last season. I knew they were shot, it flooded a couple months back(tried to fire it up when it was real cold out.) This was the last thing to fix. Fresh oil and its go time.

At least the easiest was last...don't forget the thermos full of chocolate milk.

lol, might just be the angle(I hope, lol.) All last season, I think it was 15-17 track days, round there. I'll definitely be changing them mid season this year though.

Who needs a cutoff switch? That's just something that lets your pal kill your bike on you while your waiting in the staging area and take off.

Depends on how you ride but 7500-10K miles is a good rule of thumb for the average street rider.

I switched out to iridiums at 7,5K. They are supposed to have a longer lifespan.
