Spark Plug (Read 164 times)

Angie Senior Member Offline Anybody can be normal, where's the fun in that? Posts: 334 Iowa Gender:	Spark Plug 09/10/10 at 11:56:37 OK, new question that is kinda related to my old question. My husband has my bike apart, and wants to check the spark plug. The manual says to use a 17 mm spark plug socket, but I cant find one that size. Can another size work? If I need to order one, where do you recommend? darn, winter is gonna be here before my bike is fixed. This is so depressing. sigh

If you dont get to ride this fall you can enjoy the waiting time untill spring Some times the waiting is as good as the experience

WA Gender:	Re: Spark Plug Reply #2 - 09/10/10 at 15:23:26 Original Equipment Spark plug is the 17 mm version and the socket is in the tool kit if you got it. It does take a thin walled socket to work. Look for a 3/8 drive deep socket at a good hardware store or on a tool truck. Replacement spark plugs may have an different hex size. Max

Find a judge that rides, then tell him "But Your Honor, he wouldn't fix my bike!!".... case closed. Wink

I bought a 18mm deep socket with a 3/8" drive and cut up an old lawnmower spark plug connector and shoved it in the socket. Works like a charm.
