i am not sure how to tell if there too cold or hot but, the stock ones should be fine, if it seems like its ruing lean that just the way it is form the factory, install a jet kit and it will improve.

i have 14000 on my stock plugs and there still in spec but lean, so i am geting a jet with the jardine and lunchbox k&n

What ever you do...DO NOT use Champion...they melt, break, destroy engines.

I believe the stock ones are NKG but if you look in the FAQ section there is a whole thread dedicated to spark plugs.

Here are you happy now????
