Default Spark Plug...uh rattle?

So I started hearing a clicking sound and I soon realized it was coming from the far right spark plug. When I push down on the spark plug wire, the noise stops. Is it possible my spark plug loosened itself?! I have been learning wheelies, maybe the consistent front wheel impact loosened it? Either way, I dont know exactly how to get to them. The Plugs seem like they are in a rediculously hard place to reach. Can I get to them without removing the radiator? I dont have the tool kit

i would say so. Its a bit of maneuvering but yes yuo can get to it without removing the radiator. just a socket, extension and wrench. gotta take the lower fairing off. unless your naked. inspect the plug, threads, washer and gap before you re-install it. good luck on the learning curve and remember, shiny side up.

I got it, before i even read your post haha pretty bad spot to put spark plugs I'd say. But yeah I was able to tighten it up. It completely blew out on the freeway and was knocking the plug wire up and down lol sounded like a chopper until i stopped, GAYYYYY

I changed all 4 recently with just a socket wrench, and I didn't have to take any fairings off, just the access doors. The right one , #4, was the easiest of the bunch.

Shoot, the right one is absolutely the hardest for me. I can barely even get my hands in there and there is no room to move the wire and bot out of the way. At least the other three have some room for your hands.

1/4" ratchet with spark plug socket and a very short extension and adapter works perfect if you don't have the tool kit socket. A 1/4" swivel mixed in there makes it even easier.
