Hello fellow Vespa fans. I've searched for an answer, and I am coming up with all kinds of numbers. For those who use an iridium plug in your Vespa, how long do they last? I have the Denso in my BV250, and I'm using NGK iridium in my air cooled Buddy 125. From my search I'm guessing 10,000 to 100,000 miles. That's why I'm asking. How often do you change it? Thank you in advance.

50,000 to 60,000 miles. I have seen them get cleaned up, re-gapped, reinstalled and go 100,000 miles. But I don't think I would push them that far.

if the tune is on point and there's not a mechanical problem with the motor probably about the life of the scooter, honestly.
