I dont have the mod - and I did not have to take the tank off ?
The seller gave me this spark plug tool that came with the bike.
It is very basic but did the job....

I wanna know then how you did it. I cannot figure out how to change the plug without removing the tank. Please tell me how you did it.

Unless your bike had the covers removed by the PO....this inquiring mind wants to know, also Huh

Well - currently I am at home fighting a cold - but when I feel better I will take a picture of the small spark plug tool that the previous owner gave me , and I will take a picture of the spark plug area as well, as far as I can tell nothing was done- the bike is stock.
When he gave me the tool he said "this is to remove the spark plug without taking off the tank", it is a little tight but I did it in under 2mins. And I don't have small hands, by any means.

Maybe the dirt on the streets where you live isnt so gritty as here. Maybe yours just doesnt get "Down there", like it does here. I always blow compressed air around the plug before I pull it. Once, I didnt & once, I found some nasty crap right by the hole, so I put grease on a bamboo skewer & felt around down inside the engine. I pulled out a couple of chunks that fell in. NOW I always blow it out, before I pull that plug,

That's a great idea. Thanks Wink

Even with the stock tool and no chrome head covers the seat and tank have to be removed for me to get at the plug. I dont need to remove them but i might aswell. I still have to loosen everything.

Auto parts stores are usually cheaper than a bike shop.
