Default change plugs or leave alone?
I have read a couple of postings about 954's blowing out spark plugs. Should I just leave them alone? Mine is at 13K miles and I'd like to change, but seems a little risky. Bike runs like a raped ape, but I think the OEM recommendation is 12K on the plugs. How common is this problem?

i haven't heard of this prob to much.. but 13k on it.. change it when u got some time... change with the stock NGK but go to a auto parts store u will save 9 bucks a piece on spark plugs... they are about 9-10 at the store... almost 20 at the dealership

ive never heard of the sparkplugs doin that in the 954 and i put more than 12k on mine before changin the plugs and she still ran like a new bike. trust me its not difficult at all to change just a b*tch cuz everything is so compact! go ahead do it!

I say do it before they do go bad cuz one day when you have a hard time starting your bike and its really nice outside youll wish you were riding not messing aroud with spark plugs. Happened to me after i had a bike stored..... On the other hand that bike was an R6. I'd still do it just to be safe it's really easy.
