For the couple of members who actually ride a V-Rod, which spark plugs do you use. How often are they changed? Thanks.

Stock HD V rod plugs gapped to .035, torqued to 17'lbs.  I change them annually, not that they need it but I get bored over the winter.
By the book it's every 30000 miles or two years. From my observations they would go much more then 30k but they are cheap and you only have one per cyl.

No winter here to be bored about. Ron, thanks.

Hey Ron I used  a NGK Iridium plug in the v rod I put a stage two kit into they will last a lot longer any cons . Max

I've not used them . Reason I stayed with stock was for knock control (ion sensing) for tuning reasons. Some plugs might screw with that, not saying the Iridiums do since I've never tested them.

Oh didn't know the v rod had ion sensing must look at the p.v again .

Oh will be away for a while if I don't  reply. Max

Yup. Had one area it was pulling timing when it was tuned. Rear cyl , I think it was but only 3* Fixed a hole in the ve table in that area and it stopped pulling timing. Overall, Revolution engine seems to be quite detonation resistant.
