Exhausts and Engine » 1250 plug gap 1 or .8?

What is wrong with the current plugs? Do modern plugs actually wear out? Some car makers say 90,000 miles and we aren't riding bikes going bang 18,000 times a minute.

Plus, looking at your image, which has the same spec as my R1200 rider manual, anything between 0.8 and 1mm will be fine. I doubt a BMW tech messes with the gap set in the NGK factory when earning the workshop another 70 quid in parts and labour in that 10 minutes between fag breaks.
