How hard the bike is ridden has a major influence on the plug requirement as well as the jetting, but it seems to go largely ignored by most riders.

In the Plug reading 101 thread you can see this visually by looking at

- Post 13 - Colder plug 9 series with a fast rider
- Post 15 - Hotter plug 8 series but much slower rider
- Post 34 - Detailed explanation of the specifics

The rider and the track conditions will determine the plug running temperature to a huge degree. If you take a perfect setup for dry fireroad type riding and ride the next weekend in tacky mud you'll most likely increase the load to a significant degree. When the load goes up so does the plug temp. Whether or not it changes enough to warrant a change in plug heat range is where your testing and experience comes into play.

The important point is, checking the plug once in a while when conditions and riding type changes will teach you a whole lot about what is happening inside the engine.  Who knows, some people might even find this part of the riding experience to be fun. ;)
