hippyracer Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Hello I've recently purchased a naked XJ6 and want to change the spark plugs. I've taken the side panels to see if I can access the plugs, but there doesn't seem to be any room, so I tried to manoeuvre radiator out of the way without disconnecting the hoses but with out much luck. After abut half an hour I gave up and put panels back on. Any help will be much appreciated. Anyway, I hope you all had a great Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to pivot the tank back (it bolts down at the front) and prop it up. You then need to remove the air-box (deep allen key by memory for each of the clamps). There is rubber webbing protecting the plugs, this is held in place with reusable zip-ties. It's 40 mins work, provided you go steady, and not too taxing for a jap-four.

lemmett66 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Did you ever complete the job and change them ? I'm thinking of doing it myself and using the NGK Iridium plugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
