I've not seen this anywhere on the BWB or in the service manual, so here's a little tip we figured out when changing the plugs after a cold start rev up plug fouling; After pulling the upper/lower airbox cover (per manual) to get to the rear spark plug, the front plug is still unaccessable from the topside. I pulled the 3 torx screws that hold the left side air scoop on and just used a 5/8" wrench to loosen the spark plug. Simple as pie, completed the plug change under 10 minutes. The rear spark plug is easily accessed with a simple wobble extension and a 5/8" peanut plug socket.

Hope this helps,
Dan
