Its time for me to change the plugs. I've looked up the type to get (NGK DR8ES) for my '96 - now all that is left is pulling the old ones and installing the new ones.
I understand I'll have to loosen the side fairings. I have never taken them completely off - primarily because I've never needed to and secondarily because I didn't want to deal with removing the front turn signal indicators. Is it very difficult to remove them completely? Is there some trick to getting around those turn signal things?
Next would be removal of the gas tank. What should I know here? Is there a setting that I can turn the pet cock to and run the bike to drain the gas lines or do I just park the bike and start disassembling? When removing the tank, what should I look out for? How much gas should I expect to spill when I do this?
I'm hoping once I get these pieces off the rest will be pretty obvious.
Thanks for any tips/help/experiences anyone can offer.
