Runing stock spark plugs?

[groundeffect]

Hey!

My dealer suggested I change out my spark plugs at 10,000km (6,000miles), and I did. I've read some threads here which suggest the same.

When I gear-up for the 20,000km service I was going to change the plugs again. Before I pick some up, I was wondering are you guys running the stock type plugs in your Spyders these days?

I do have a tube of the heat sink paste to install on them also.

Thanks

Regarding the heat sink paste from Radio Shack / (or The Source), part number: P/N 276-1372A

Has anyone had any problems with their plug, or getting them back out after installing the paste?:dontknow: Any issues seen in the field with this paste?:dontknow:

I am running the stock plugs, and haven't seen any issues with the Radio Shack paste. There was a thread on here about running the Iridium, basically same part number with an R on the end I think. The BRP engineers stated they would probably last longer, but would not provide any measurable performance increases. I am undecided if I will try those next time, or just stick with the stock ones.

I pulled the stock plugs out at 11,000 miles, came right out. Put Iridium's in with Radio Shack paste. 12 hundred miles latter i pulled the Iridium's out with no problems, put the stock [new] plugs in with/paste and they're staying.

Stock plugs here... I see no need to use anything other than stock at this point.

Plugs are cheap... Should last the 12k, but I tend to monkey around enough with the Spyder that I change them more often.

I changed my stock plugs at 28K...they could have gone probably 50K. I put iridiums and like them fine. To me, spark plugs are like oil...do what one feels is the best for them. One's good opinion is another one's bash.
