Re: hard starting....
the rear two spark plugs are easy to get at but the front two are a pain.....you will need to loosen off the upper radiator lower bracket and push it 4ward.
if yo do not have the spark plug spanner then it is a deep 13mm socket you will need if i remember correctly.
and whatever is needed to screw the tester in!!!!!

Re: hard starting....
go in via radiator?
hell no.. it takes me 15mins to get to plugs via air box/coils... changed plugs several times so its easy for me to do.
i just need to collect the relevant tools together to bring to work to do in lunch time.

Re: hard starting....

thats maybe where i get my sore backs from haha.....
noticed today number two is not firing....or so i believe,exhaust was stone cold so it looks like its out with the plug and see if it is sparking.
happy days!!!!

Re: hard starting....
This morning my end can sheared off the headers after hitting a bump, i suspect its been slowly tearing the weld for a while.. and i think it was caused by the MOT guy putting a rolling jack under the headers to lift the front up to check head race bearings 3 weeks ago...
also 3 weeks ago my bike started having starting issues.
i am wondering If the end can working its way off has caused the hard starting issue?
i am still doing a compression check some time this weekend.
