Nytro plug change!!!!!

[blu blood]

I thought my Apex was a pain. I hope I never have to do a plug change anywhere other than the garage. Three beer job!

There is an easier way than going through removing all the plastic and tank. I was able to do mine by pulling side panels and using the deep socket that comes in tool pouch along with a multi-angled ratchet and magnetic tip. Still tough to get my fat hands in there but was under a 15min job.
good luck

Yes I did it my first time not knowing Yamaha has a lovely too to use in the kit. It didn't take long though and was easy just used a plug socket and 6 " extension, just put them together with the socket in the cyl and they fit fine with tank and all. I think i will try the tool the next time and see which i prefer.

X2, def no need to remove the tank and everything. go from the clutch side. use a spark plug socket and an extension or two. lucky if its a one beer job and i enjoy my beer lol.

If you've upgraded to a Trail Tank, then you definitely have to remove the gas tank to change the plugs.

Its the much bigger? there is quite a bit of room from the side to get in there. i just have a reg tank so IDK but i would still think you could get in there

yes as grimm says if u have a trail tank absolutely have to remove it to change plugs no way u can get in there with that installed....

good luck getting tank back in after removal .....need lots and lots of patience

better to leave the tool in the bag where it can sit and look pretty `cause thats about all its good for....... made real cheap twists apart if plugs are tight (and especially first time they are) I believe it is a 16 mm deep well that is needed with proper extension
