Just checked the spark plug, the white part has a crack on both sides.

But the bike works fine.

Should I change the plug?

Thanks

No, just carry a new spark plug and tools in case it does break.


If it does break though the bits of porcelain will wreck the engine. Porcelain is significantly harder than aluminium and will probably destroy the piston. For the sake of £3, it's not worth taking the chance.
