Nothing like riding on a fresh plug. I would change it once a year depending on how much you ride.

I know on my snowmobile.. After 15ish hours of riding I'd change mine and you could feel the power difference.. not sure if this is the same though on a 4stroke motor.

I believe the CR8IEX is the iridium plug for the 700.  I think it runs smoother with it.

It's not necessary to change the plug, but putting in new plugs is good for a few HP!

It was amazing changing the plugs in my 96' skidoo 583. You could tell when there was new plugs in, the thing would just take off!
