What kind of spark plugs do I need for my Aprilia?

How long do spark plugs last on a motorcycle?
Motorcycle spark plugs usually last around 16,000 miles, or at least this is when most manufacturer service schedules recommend you change them. That’s typically once every other major service. However if you use Iridium spark plugs they will last a lot longer, usually well over 30,000 miles.
Why does my spark plug keep fouling up?
There are many different causes of spark plug fouling. If the plug has oil on it, then it’s oiling up and may not work efficiently, potentially causing a misfire or stuttering under hard acceleration. If it’s just dark or black the bike could be running too rich.
What should I do when I remove my spark plugs?
When you’ve removed your spark plugs, check the condition of the threads in the cylinder head and put a cloth over the cylinder head if you’re going to leave it exposed. Install each spark plug by hand until you have wound the thread a couple of turns. This reduces the chances of you cross-threading the plug.
