On the 2014 the air filter is round (think oil filter shaped) and is relatively easy to change. I don't see where you would gain much more access on the 1330 by doing that.
I think we will wait a while. I'm at 34,600 miles and like someone else pointed out the manual says change at 28,000. I'm not having any issues but was just trying to follow the guidelines for a change!
I would not recommend going much past the 28000. At that point the iridium tip of the plugs are sure to be eroded and increasing the gap of the plug. This can cause your coils to over work and lead to ignition coil failure, which would make the repair even more expensive. I know the plugs are a pain to change, but it is "preventative maintenance." In this case it is preventing you from having premature coil failure.

Since you are an NGK engineer and know all there is to know about how long iridium plugs last, I'm sure you thought about the grounding electrode that is NOT iridium... This part of the plug will in fact be burned away by a high energy spark. Yes the iridium plugs do last longer than the standard plug, but NO they do not last forever!!! If you want to let you ignition coils be destroyed by shear stubbornness, go ahead, be my guest, it's your money! Just keep driving the thing until it quits running, and then throw some plugs at it. That's sure to fix it!

IMHO- The issue isn't if the plugs will go 100k, it's can you get those 100K mile pugs out of the motor in one piece without destroying them or the motor when you do remove them.
I'm old school. I do plugs in my cars at 30k and in my bikes at 10k at most. The winter is a good time to spend a bit of quality time with your machine.
