7,500 mile service

**Cajunrider** · 02-02-2009, 07:50 PM

I finished up my 7,500 mile service this afternoon. Changed the oil and filter, pulled the bags and changed the final drive gear oil, checked tightness of all fasteners behind the bags, etc. I did find the radiator drain plug hand tight but it hadn't dripped at all. It made up at least one full round with a 1/4" drive ratchet. One question I have is about the spark plugs. The manual recommends changing the plugs at the 7,500 mile service. I stopped by the dealer this evening after seeing Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino, great movie by the way, and picked up 4 plugs. The guy in the parts dept said it wasn't important to change the plugs now. Do you guys agree? Check out Gran Torino, it's really classic Eastwood. Thanks.
