The first issue is this...Have you looked at it? Removed it and checked it?

The good thing is this. It must be running good with the original. (I hope)

You will probably will notice a difference when you do change it.
my 2 cents

changing oil and plug everytime u ride is pointless and a waste of money, but to each there own i guess. Unless you are rideing for like a week strait or somthin

Yes that is overkill. Kind of like changing your car's oil every 1000 miles along with your plugs and wires.

theres nothing worse than being out riding and your miles away and your plug takes a dump
thats why I change it so often and beside I buy my plugs wholesale and get them cheap
I run 2 ranges hotter plug than stock
