Bitripple Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Hi I have only been bike for 2 years so am a complete novice when it comes to maintenance. I need to change the spark plugs on my 2004 R6 Are there any special tools i need Is there a basic how to guide somewhere on this forum (i have tried a search) I have seen a set of 4 NGK spark plugs via Ebay for £20. Is this about the right price, and recommended plugs? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cov_AL Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Haha, I found this by googleing - it talks you through the process for your bike. As for tools, you should have a small tool kit that comes with the bike which will do the job - However it's extremly advisable to get a torque wrench (try here) You'll probably also want to get some socket extention bars like these: and deep sockets or specific spark plug sockets (foam rubber insert or magnetic type) I've bought tools from http://www.toolshopdirect.co.uk/, and found them to be quick and cheap. Hope this has helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
