While troubleshooting my raptor 350, we noticed the spark plug barely has any spark left. I am getting ready to research the replacement, but was curious on 4-stroke quads how often people change their spark plugs?

Hey, I found this Raptor 350 Service manual. I checked in it and it just says to replace the spark plug when necessary. They do say to check the gap and clean every 6 months.

Cool, I had also just found that and read that! LOL

I guess I will just check them twice a year for now and get better about doing so.

I know on my 2-strokes and like now with my KDX i take an extra one out with me just in case and it seems more critical... so I was just curious what others generally do as a rule of thumb?

I was looking in some forums where they said that they replace the spark plug every 4-500 miles on their Grizzly. I have around 800 miles on my Outlander, and the plugs still look pretty good.
