Sup i got one of these.
Mine is so ****ty haha. last friday I broke down on the highway, it stopped igniting. flooded the carbs with carb cleaner and then it started up. does anyone have a good trick for getting the spark plugs out cuz its so tricky to do for me and they might be seized in.

18mm deep well thin wall socket, a short extension and pull the radiator off to make access easier. Personally, I can reach the plugs through the frame without pullin anything off the bike, but my hands arent real big either, so I'm good at a lot of stuff. while you're at it, pull the carbs and clean em good. oh yeah, good fuel filter change will also be beneficial to you.

ok yea, this winter my brother and i are gonna possibly do a engine rebuild. so ill freshen up the carbs. also i was told that these have ancient types of plugs that have threads on the end or something, so what plugs would i replace them with if u could let me know. thanks in advance.
RE: Sup i got one of these.
no theyre not an ancient type of plug, all spark plugs have that threaded end, only difference is that ones used in cars have a cap screwed onto the threads. Go to honda and just ask them for the proper plugs for your bike. I wouldnt use aftermarket, unless youre modding the bike you could go with Denso.

NGK Spark Plug: DPR8EA-9
I take the socket (I believe with small extenstion too, cant remember ATM), not attached to the drive, I slip the socket over the plug, then attach the drive to the socket. This makes it easier than trying to maneuver the drive and socket into the frame. I then use a fuel hose to slip over the top of the spark plug and pull it out; I think 5/8 is what I use.
