1 to change the spark plug and to post that spark plug has been changed.
14 to share similar experiences of changing spark plugs and how the spark plug could have been changed differently.
7 to caution about the dangers of changing spark plugs.
27 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing spark plugs.
15 know-it-alls who claim *they* were in the industry, and that "spark plug" is an electrical device threaded into the cylinder of an internal-combustion engine to ignite the fuel mixture by producing timed sparks between electrodes.
2 to post that this group is not about spark plugs and to please take this discussion to a spark plug group.
27 to defend the posting to this group saying that we all use spark plugs and therefore the posts *are* relevant to this group.
16 to debate which method of changing spark plugs is superior, where to buy the best spark plugs, what brand of spark plugs work best for this technique, and what brands are faulty.
2 to post URL's where one can see examples of different spark plugs.

RE: Changing spark plugs - dbarkdoll_imp - 01-01-2019

Dunno what category I fall into for this, but when are plugs being replaced on this bike?

According to the 2014 Owner's Manual, 12800 kms (8000 miles), and every 12800 kms thereafter.

Hmm, that said, I should look into that. Dodgy


RE: Changing spark plugs - dbarkdoll_imp - 01-01-2019

Sure that’s not just a “check plugs” instead of “replace plugs” thing? I’m sure these plugs last longer than that
