Changing your spark plugs easily.

[skidMarkNZ]

Hey guys, this doesnt apply to the gs's so much but may help with other bikes you have... alot of 90's bikes had the spark plugs down deep holes, i have seen SO many people struggle to get plugs out because the little bit of rubber in thier socket doesnt grab on etc...

i have seen many a person trying to get little pliers down the hole etc etc...

So in summary...

Undo plug... take socket out... then shove spark plug lead back down hole and clip it onto the plug... then pull it out...easy as that.

may help you guys sometime or one of your mates who is smacking his head on a wall...

Hope this was of use to somebody...

Skid.

Don't forget the old trick of using rubber fuel hose to remove and install the plugs. Added benefit is that you won't cross thread them.

A bit of plumber's putty in a socket works great as well. Also works for holding in nuts and bolt to get started in those hard to reach areas.

+ 1 on this method to remove and re-install plugs. It's a snap.

spark plug sockets, if you work on your own bike spend the five bucks n get a socket for your bike. Other people have good ideas to, rubber hose, grease, etc.
