Hi everyone,
today I tried to change the spark plugs on my FZ6 naked 2005.
Lessons learned:
The new spark plugs I got (iriduim CR9EIX NGK) come with terminal adaptors, which need to be removed, before you can use them (Spark Plug Construction)
You need to unscrew gently the top tip you see in the following picture:

It is very inconvenient to change spark plugs by only moving the radiator a few centimetres lower (following service manual's instructions), especially if you don't have the appropriate tools (I have a torque wrench [pre-set to 18Nm Sykes-Pickavant] but it is way too big for FZ6 topology without removing the radiator). The problem could be that I don't have a good wrench adaptor for the spark plug. The adaptor which comes with the bike's tool-set is very short and you need to do some "fishing" to take it out once you tighten the spark plug.
My old spark plugs looked like this:

What do you think about its health?
