I am trying to take a look at my plugs. Service manual say 5/8" bit but it isn't big enough. Closest Ive been is a 18mm but a little too big. Anyone run into this? | ||

I looked in the knowledge vault but only found some vague answer about tracking down a high end 18mm plugs bit.. | ||

stock sparkplug (10R12) has a 5/8 hex. aftermarket plugs can vary... | ||

The Pro Series plugs must be in my bike because the 5/8 hex doesn't fit. Same result with the out of the box new ones. | ||

Jason it is a 5/8th bit, but you need a wooble extension to get it on right. becareful once you get the rear out...its a goof to get back in | ||

Brian, Trust me, the 5/8 doesnt clear the hex on the plugs, not even the Pro Series plugs I am holding in my hand. 18mm is only bit that will fit around it. I can take pictures if no one beleives me. | ||

we believe you. | ||

the pro series is a diffrent size from the standard 5/8. | ||

after you break it loose , and going in , use a foot of oil line. it bends nice and doesn't break the porcielen, and will stop before cross threading. ps i wouldn't use the braided line. lol | ||

Thanks Pilk, 11/16 worked like a champ. I changed both plugs out this morning...Rear was the most fun I've had in a long time. Jason | ||

oooops. I thought you were talikg about the regular 10r12's...my fault | ||

Jason -- you're right -- the Pro plugs are NOT 5/8, but 11/16... I just changed over on Friday and ran into the same problem... Steve. |
