Motorcycle Manuals FAQs

How to test a motorcycle spark plug?

Take the plug out and give it a good look. If it’s dirty, cracked, or worn, it won’t spark right. You can use a tester too. Checking it every now and then keeps your bike running smoothly and avoids sudden misfires.

Are all motorcycle spark plugs the same?

Every bike has its own type of spark plug. Engine size, model, and make all matter. Always check your manual first. Halfords has a range of plugs, so you can grab the one that actually fits your ride.

How long do motorcycle spark plugs last?

Usually, they last around 5,000–10,000 miles, but it really depends on your bike and how you ride. A quick check now and then can prevent annoying misfires and keep your engine happy.

How often change motorcycle spark plugs?

You should change your spark plugs roughly every 5,000–10,000 miles, or follow what your bike’s manual says. New plugs improve your bike's fuel efficiency, smoothness, and ease of starting.
