Default Spark Plugs...

Okay, just wanted some quick opinions. What's the easiest way to change the plugs, I can't even get my hand in through the access panel, and do not have any fancy tool. Will it be better to take of the airbox/carbs, or to take off the radiator?

I have always taken my airbox off, it takes a little longer butI like it because I am right on top of them and don't have to fidget anything around.

Take off the gas tank, then the air box, you will be able to reach all 4 very easily... I know this cause I just did mine... and besure to put the NGK plugs in there!

Got them changed, went in right above the stacks, I removed the rubber barrier, pulled the wires and marked them, and used 4" extension to a universal adapter to a 6" extension, worked like a charm. Getting the plugs out of the holes was the hardest part. While I had it apart I replaced the fuel line, and poured some seafoam down the intake. I let that sit until I got it all back together. It is running AWESOME now, between the cleaning and new plugs I bet I added 8hp...or got it back rather! Plugs suck, but at least it gives you a chance to do alot while you have it apart!
