Lol its 70 out here I would tear it up too much lol.
Last time. I did just because I was changing too copper donuts but I read you can do it just with the panel off and the yamaha plug tool.

You will need to remove tank if you have a trail tank. Plugs will last a long time unless they are fouled from incomplete warm ups.

A ratchet with a spark plug socket works fine. Remove tank only as Dr FeeLGood mentioned, if you have a trail tank.

Overkill! But its your moneyI would think about changing the plugs. They could be due depending on how many times you started it and shut it off right away. I like to change mine every 1000 miles to keep my performance top notch.

Well changed the plugs tonight it fired right up! Is it common for it to hit Rev limiter on the stand? I only rode it once last year after installing a clutch kit and it hit Rev limiter a couple times then as well.

I found the easiest way to change the plugs was to use the factory tool kit. And if you are hitting the rev limiter check your springs both Primary and Secondary as one is most likely weak, broken or deformed.

I got the clutch kit new from ulmer at the end of last season very low miles on it so I would imagine the springs are good. Maybe I just need a little extra weight on the tips

I wouldnt spend any money on the clutching until I rode is some.
