I'm thoroughly convinced after following this thread, when it comes time for new plugs, I'm just putting in. Regardless of what time the clock says it is.  Smiley

To each his own. You will have no Ill effects. Must of us have done it that way for years.  I know it is a little complicated for some.
Don't get your knickers in a wad. it was just an observation about the wild fluctuations on installing/indexing some plugs.

Add a little confusion to the process. Go get some iridium plugs with multiple ground electrodes, screw 'em in and start an oil thread about it... Cheesy

All I can tell you is how easy the bike starts and how smooth it idles. If any of it is due to indexing spark plugs it’s well worth the time and if not well nothing really lost anyway.

I always cut back the side electrode so half of the center electrode is exposed and then round the end.
I also use a plug with a reduced size center electrode, presently TRW champion powersport #8812

As I see it... all this talk about spark plug mods and such is all fine and dandy but if you really want to increase power then losing about 15 lbs of belly fat = about +- 2.2 HP. cooldude
