The recommended torque does not index your plugs do it the old fashion way, they are warrentied for 3yrs, and you should not have to replace them yet. The reason for the indexing and the tolerance is 90 deg inline with the injector is to insure the 1st pull start, nothing more, if the indexing is off than the sled may have to be pulled more than once to start it.
I have replaced mine last year chasing a hesitation problem, the plugs almost looked brand new, dont bother doing this, if you dont have to. The mag side is a real pain and you need different tools to change it. the normal tool that comes with the tool kit will not do it.

I've taken them out on the hill with the stock tools. Not toooooo bad but tight. I did a tight turn and got stuck, plugging the exhaust completely(which I didn't realize at the time), bad day. It would barely run. I pulled the plugs to see them. They were good. After that I found the ice ball plugging the exhaust. Started right up, went sledding. Good day.

had the dealer change the plugs with just over 5000 km on them. the old plugs look good but i feel better that i have new plugs with that mileage on the engine.
