i dont see a point in that.. if it's not broken don't fix it.
Note that he puts a LOT of miles on the bike in a years time.

There IS a recommendation in the maintenance schedule for changing the plug.
They are exposed to more heat than a water cooled engine.......and that has NOTHING to do with the "heat range" of the plug.

AND......in a one cylinder bike, that ONE plug is very important. They do fail suddenly sometimes.
I have a vivid memory of that in my S90, which had a KICK starter; damn near got a hernia kicking that thing over before I gave up !!!

Anybody who rides a thumper should always carry a spare plug.......and a tool to change it with.
