Plugs

Yea I asked my dealert and they said it requires a special tool and that I had to bring the sled into the them to change the plugs haven't had time to look into it myself but that would really suck.

Really hope changing the plugs is not a deal only service item :face-icon-small-fro

Guessing the only reason BRP may be suggesting the plugs are a dealer only service item is that the plugs need to be indexed properly for the engine to run well.:face-icon-small-coo

Plugs

If the 850 plugs are like the 6 and 800 etec, the plugs are pre indexed and you simply torque to the correct spec.

Are the threads and ground strap location the same on a plug bought from a auto parts store?

Last year, I broke 2 plugs on my 2015 freeride. I miss 2 rides because I didnt have spair plug...

I had chance , I was still at the truck..

Never broke a plug before but now I always have 2 plugs in rhe glove box...

And changing the plug on xm was a real pain in the $&@.

Hope g4 is gonna be easier...
