I prefer being on top
Well I finally HAD to do it today. I've done over 10 thou miles and the plugs weren't new when I got the bike.
I found a useful link to SBN where there is a clear pictorial guide and set about it this morning.
I'm quite used to things mechanical but I did find the #1 cylinder lead to be a real pig to get out of the head. It took me an hour plus I resorted to taking the bottom bolt out of the rad to swing it forward for some extra space.
Anyway, its done and the bike runs just a little better. Next job will be to sync the bodies, so I'm going to make my own manometer as I already have the pressure gauge.
I think next time I will change the plugs at the same time as sync'ing the T/Bs as it will be easier with the tank/airbox out the way!
One question though.
Are those super expensive twin electrode plugs really necessary or are there better equivalents out there?
