Default Should i go ahead and change?....

.....out my spark plugs? I have got about 13K on my bike, I pulled the far left plug out and it still looks really good. If this one is good can I assume the other three plugs are in the same condition?

Also I am trying to decide if i should do a coolant flush. I have no overheating problems bike runs good. I just like to get things done when i have everything apart. Should Imake a desicion on changing the coolant by the color of coolant in the expansion tank? If i do goahead with the flush, how much coolant should a pick up to be ready?

TIA, Mark

if one plug looks good, odds are the rest are as well. I have 12,000KM's on dial, i wont change plugs or do a rad flush this year, maybe next? not sure what the manual says RE plugs though?

I changed mine at 12k... only because I'd already bought the replacements [&:] They're relatively expensive too [:@]
No need to change.

I'd say look into your CCT if you have the fairings open... put in an APE or something. If you're at 13k it'll start to rattle soon if it hasn't already.

I have to respectfully disagree here... changing plugs and coolant is always a good idea in any vehicle. Taking off the stock CCT(L) and installing a manual one makes no sense, especially if it's not even rattling yet.
