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!!!!!

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.

both ways are about the same hassle.......
either way gets the job done!!!!!

aye... lol.. i did go in via the radiator once... i had twinges in my back for days afterwards! thats why i prefer the tank etc way.. no odd positions

lol!!!
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!!!!
im lucky though,my bike is off the road so i aint in a rush and can take my time.

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.
