Changed my sparks plugs and oil last night
And it runs a little crisper and quieter I went from using royal purple to Mobil one 4t, and there is way less engine noise now...... Also I noticed while changing the plugs, that the motor seems to sit to the right of the frame, hangs out a little more that way? is that and illusion? If it is wouldn't that throw off balance

Not sure I changed them at 20K I checked them at 12.5K but they looked ok.
Any expert want to comment about the engine placement in the chassis, seems to sit to the right??

I haven't changed my plugs in 2 1/2 years... Guess it's about that time.

Plugs are supposed to be changed roughly every 8-10k miles for optimal performance. I dont see y going maybe a few k miles over would harm anything. i have found that on my zx14 (my newest addition to the stable) i have to change the air filter a lot more often than i do my 06 katana. the ram air really seems to filth up the air element. and i change my oil every 2.5k to 3k miles with fully synthetic amsoil. more often than needed but i do run my bike hard
