Only ever fouled one a year on my Legend, both times same senerio, late in season, mild temps and long cruise. Can't complain about that :D

I haven't fouled one since I parked the old 77 Scorpion Whip. That thing took a set or two every ride.

My Formula Plus, Safari and Polaris XLT, never a bad plug. Always clean and like new.

Lucky I guess.

New sled, I hope is a good as these two were.

The BR9ES were fine but with the Iridiums, they seem to work better at the end of the year. Other than that, I never change them during season.

I used to foul plugs on the ol zrt about every 200 mile. Now with the firecat, I run an entire season without fouling. I change them after the first ride of the new season since I fog my motors, and then dont worry about changing them until next year. ITS GREAT!!!

I might even run my Iridiums for a second season. The ones I switched out last fall still looked new.

Likewise, after the first run of a season I put in a fresh set and am good for the season.
Two reasons, the fall fogging and the first run of a season I also run a fuel/oil mix just to verify the oil pump is still functioning.

Never fouled with the SkiDoo, we'll see how the Yammi does this year. Had her out last weekend for a little romp, and will put the new plugs in tonight. (the old ones looked fine after riding last weekend, but are last years - and we don't want last years model in there with the way the "new plugs" look, gotta be fashionable you know :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: )

I've never fouled a plug on the 3 Polaris domestic twins I have owned. Used to on the Fuji motors once in a while.

Never had a plug foul up on me. I had one plug on my 98 Yamaha go south but it wasn't fouled up at all.

I never change them at the begening of the season either. I just run em till they drop. Which has never hapend by the way.
