Having trouble getting the bike to start and suspect the plugs may be fouled. How do I access the plugs to check them? Thanks | ||

turn the bike upside down and shake vigorously | ||

The procedure is in the service manual, quite easy to do, but the rear is a bit of a pain to get too. | ||

just kidding pull the air box air filter and bottom cover. I use long handle needle nose for the plug wires the back plug you need a swivel 5/8" plug sockett and the front you have to pull the airscoop and use a hand wrench I recomend using new plug wires as well and grease em | ||

Thanks guys, I'll try this. Is this a common problem? | ||

you really do not need to remove the airbox base thought. since the hole you are accessing to get at the back plug is still just as big with the base on as with it removed. and extention with a swivel and a sparkplug socket will work just fine. plus a pair of spark plug boot pliers and your set. my personal recommendation is to try and get a spark plug boot pliers instead of using the needle nose. it is do able with the needle nose, but i trashed way to many wires and boots by tearing them up with that. the front one is very easy 3 torx screws for the air scoop and an open end wrench for the plug. | ||

I pop off the plug wires from underneath using a long flat blade screw driver. They can be a bitch to get off though. |
