So confused

You never said you had the tank off [:@]
you don't need to take the tank off to change the plugs,
Why does everyone cause so much work for themselves when working on their bikes, if you get the correct spark plug socket all you need to do is remove the small side inspection pannels on each side,

Don't talk like a divvvv you can set the gap on Irridium plugs, we race on em every weekend at top level!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If we don't set the gap we have prob's from rough running to not starting at all, and if the gaps too wide chronic missfire at 7000rpm, cause the coils cant cope

Iridium
Iridium is a precious metal that is 6 times harder and 8 times stronger than platinum, it has a 1,200(=F) higher melting point than platinum and conducts electricity better. This makes it possible to create the finest wire center electrode ever. Prior till now, platinum had been favored for long life or performance spark plugs due to its high melting point, also the technology did not exist to machine and bond iridium on a spark plug electrode(at least in a cost effective manner). Iridium industrial spark plugs have been around for years, but still sells for over a hundred dollars per plug. Just now is the technology available to effectively use iridium in a spark plug for automotive applications. The strength, hardness and high melting point of iridium allows NGK to manufacture their iridium ultra-fine wire center electrode to 0.7mm. One of the finest firing points in the industry! (Thus far there has been no problems reported regarding use of iridium plugs with nitrous oxide.)
