Quick spark plug question (Read 178 times)

rl153 Serious Thumper Offline S40 Just right! Posts: 906 Bloomfield,CT Gender:	Quick spark plug question 03/07/14 at 09:12:02 I just bought an NGK DPR8EA9 for my 2005. It didn't have the little cap threaded onto the end of the spark plug where the wire connects ,just the thread. Is that the way it's supposed to come thru? Thanks!

I'm going to try to change my spark plug.The bike (2005) has the original plug in it. After I blow the dirt out, do you think I should spray liquid wrench around the plug? Also ,I can change the plug without taking the silver head cover off ,if I remove the tank,right?Also, what size deep socket is the original plug ,and what size is the NGK? Thanks!

I didn't start yet JOG,but I plan to do that.Do you think I should spray penetrating oil down there after I blow itg out? I plan to use the tool from the bike kit ,like someone suggested.I'm waitng to burn off some of my gas ,because I don't want to disconnect the speedo cable,just lay the tank on top of the frame out of the way.Also is there anything tricky about disconnecting the electrical jack on the tank? I know I ask alot of questions,but it seems if I don't ,there are unwanted surprises.Thanks!

I'd be more worried the tank will fall then whatever your worried about.

Posts: 906 Bloomfield,CT Gender:	Re: Quick spark plug question Reply #13 - 03/11/14 at 14:10:22 Thanks Vers, that helps.Is the speedometer cable easy to disconnect,and at what point do you disconnect it the tank or the motor? Forgive me if I have this confused.

BTW, some recommend anti-seize on sparky threads - although I don't do it, but I would if it were sticky.
