Why Are Spark Plugs Important?

Spark plugs might be small, but their role in your Ducati’s performance is huge. Here’s why keeping them in top shape matters:

• Efficient Combustion: Spark plugs ignite the air-fuel mixture, enabling efficient combustion and power delivery.
• Optimal Fuel Efficiency: Worn spark plugs can lead to incomplete combustion, increasing fuel consumption.
• Smooth Engine Performance: Fresh spark plugs ensure consistent ignition, reducing engine misfires or hesitation.
• Easier Starting: Replacing worn spark plugs eliminates hard starts and ensures reliable ignition every time.
• Prolonged Engine Life: Proper ignition reduces stress on engine components, extending their lifespan.

When Should You Replace Your Spark Plugs?

While Ducati’s recommended intervals may vary by model, here are some general guidelines and signs that indicate it’s time for new spark plugs:

• Regular Maintenance Schedule: Replace spark plugs every 7,500–12,000 miles, depending on your bike’s model and usage.
• Poor Fuel Economy: A sudden drop in mileage may be a sign of worn spark plugs.
• Difficulty Starting: Hard starts or delayed ignition could point to failing spark plugs.
• Rough Idling or Misfires: Engine hesitation or an uneven idle might mean your spark plugs aren’t firing efficiently.
• Loss of Power: A decline in acceleration or overall power output can result from weak sparks.
