spark plug

[anzhsb]

I am reading the user menu and it stated that need to change the park plug every 10k/km ? are you guys follow it or ? LKAR8AI-9 is Iridium plug which should last for 80k/km ?

I go at least 30,000 K on platinum plugs, and I would say iridium should be
even more than that.

My '10 Duke manual says to change it every 15000 km/9321 miles or every 2 years. I don't see what time span has to do with plug life, but that's what it says.

I changed my stock original plug at 20,000 miles. It was fine and prob could go another 10,000. I will prob clean it and re-use it as a spare if ever needed..

wait ... why you change the park plug ?

[Morpheous]

Because it was 100% overdue according to the manual. (10K means 10,000 mi.)
