If correct plugs are used and torqued to spec the indexing is automatic. If you want the first pull start and optimum fuel mileage this is important because of the position of the plug in the combustion chamber and its relation to the overhead injectors. Indexing plugs on an etec is standard...
If you use the stock wheels with 20mm bearings on a two wheel set up make sure those bearings are not worn in any way. Better to replace with new ones then risk one coming apart as there is increased strain when losing the third wheel.
