Well for starters: difficult Take that special sparkplug tool from the toolset and a spanner to fit it. First take off the leads (just pull gently but firm) Then you should be able to lower the tool into place and turn out the plug. It sounds simpler then it is.... The other three plugs are a lot easier. Also: the plugs on the rear cylinder are place the same as the ones on the front, so to figure out how it works you might want to do that one first... |

Just to clarify wavey - you do realise there are two plugs per cylinder head? I assume you do know this and the challenge you're having is with the front one on the front cylinder head. As buzzin describes, this is not simple! Have you got the tool kit plug spanner? If not you have a problem as the plugs are not a standard size and I doubt you will get a plug spanner to fit over the counter. Wemoto sell them shop.wemoto.com/pictures.dyn?u=5835670qqq5828172 £10 plus postage, but you will have to wait a few days for delivery! With the right size spanner, it's a straightforward (but as buzzin says - not that simple!) job, to remove the old plugs. Access to them is a pig. Front head, top plug - remove tank and air filter helps to see what you're doing, but you're working behind the radiator and "inside" the frame Front head, side plug - easiest one, nothing really preventing access Rear head, top plug - remove the tank and air filter to access, then pretty easy Rear head, side plug - should be easy, but you'll find the top of the plug spanner is awkward to reach and it's inside the frame. The suppressor caps are worth checking while you are working on the bike. Maake sure they are screwed into the HT Cables/ |
