I made the "door mod" in order to remove the sparkplug w/o having to take off the gas tank
...but guess what,
there's still not enough space! (well at least not for MY tools)
So I just perfected the "pull tank to the left then pull up" trick, still
kinda annoying but gets easier every time, it takes me 2 minutes
to remove seat, hoses, speedo cable, tank and spark plug now.
** in the business we call this:
"the Japanese engineer syndrome"in which japanese designers and engineers assume we all have
fine little japanese hands with perfect slim little fingers and a
complete assortment of space aged flexible tools to work on
our bikes with, so they just pack everything in impossibly small
spaces with no remorse whatsoever, go figure!
