I don't have the tool bag for my bike so what tools do I need to get to do the job? A list would be great. What kind of spark plugs and where should I get them. OEM ones are good enough for me.

How long did it take you guys to do your plugs?

 

Well for OEM plugs just go to any Honda dealer. As for the tools.. I would assume you will just need a spark plug socket and a wrench with extension.

 

I hear the dealer is a bad place to buy anything?

 

Bad, no. Exspensive yes. OEM plugs are NGK's or Denso's, you can look around for the best prices.

 

I'm and idiot and misread it . . .

 

Get the spark plug socket, 2 extensions, and a universal joint. It is a pain to get to those things.

 

Well can I get these at other auto stores or do I have to get them from honda or get them online?

Just started taking off my fairings. It does look like a real pain.

 

i dunno of any local auto stores that carry the plugs we use. only mostly honda and any motorcycle stores in ur area should have it. Online is usually the cheapest. The only time i couldn't wait for plugs to arrive from online was when i had a track day the next day and needed a brand new set.

BTW, dun forget some bandaids! This bike is kinda awkward to get to the spark plugs compared to my other bikes that i've owned. I have big hands so my knuckle's take a pretty good beating even with gloves.

 

if you dont feel confident and dont know the tools to use, probably better take her in and have is service, my shop charges 65$ to do oil, filter, and plugs.

 

I bet your going to find the f4i a little more expensive then that. It uses iridium plugs which are a little more expensive than the average spark plug.
