Just curious, how often do you guys change your sparkplugs? I am changing them each season.

Me too. If a problem comes up with involving fouled plugs I will put in fresh ones after it's solved Cool

Another Me Too. Eliminates one more variable in the 'why isn't is working' equation.

When I had my 900F I would change them about once a season if I wanted to or not. That's as long as a set would last. For some reason, a couple of them would just stop working. They were'nt fouled or anything, maybe just tired?

I change them once a season too. I only put about 3k miles on my bike per year but I don't want to be pushing the bike way out in the boonies up here.

Sounds right. Spark plugs last a long time. No need to change them frequently.

NGK Iridium are down to less than $10 each now (used to be around $22). They will outlast your bike, and work great if you have hot ignition and big carbs.
