Reason I ask is I bought a new model Honda VTX in 2002 and that model had hundreds of customers with fouling spark plugs. After about 18 months it was determined (by customers and their dealers, not Honda Corp.) that the rings were not wearing well with the cylinders. Honda mysteriously fixed it in new models but never admitted the problem or fixed the first batch.

I sold the bike because of it.
AFAIAA no reported problem with plug fouling here or on US forum. We would certainly have heard.
