Easy spark plug change technique

[NytroRonnie]

I HAVE SEARCHED (so please don't rip) but I can't find someone's earlier post about the steps to change plugs and pics as well. I think only the left side engine covers are all that's required to remove. There is a video but it took them over an hour! Sorry

Remove seat and fuel tank (with surrounding covers).

While your in there remove the heat guard and inspect flex joints/donuts for damage.

Change plugs and torque to 13 Nm.

I just went through the left hand side. Took me about 10 min.

Yeah I didnt remove the seat or tank - seems like a hassle. Use the wrench in the tool bag.

 

[judger101]

takes 10 minutes max. just use the tools in the kit and off you go!

sorry to hijack.. but what are the plug numbers and make every one is running? I thought there was a upgraded plug we could run?

I use a wrench or screwdriver for a bit of leverage on the coils. there a b%tch to get out.

So we have two for take the seat and tank off and 2 for using the tool in the bag......

What's easier? Do u have to pull the fuel line or just slide the tank back. This will be my first plug change too.

I believe it's 4 to go through the L/H side and 1 to pull tank and seat?

If you're in a rush, then side method. If you've got time, pull the tank and inspect exhaust while in there.

Tank off for me, especially those guys running Trail Tanks. Its more to inspect the donuts. Not much room for error if your exhaust donuts fail...Don't like the idea of gas leaking all over hot exhaust headers....

OTM

If you have the trail tank you definitely have to pull the tank.

I just go through the left side. No need to remove seat and tank. Yes a 10 minute job. CR10ek.

 

[axapowell]

Left side for me. No problems...
