Default After Winter Starting Problem. Can't remove Spark Plugs...

I searched for about 10 min. before posting...I'm sure this has been answered before.

97 crb600F3

This is really frusterating. First I didn't drain the fuel out of the system before I stored it in the garage for the winter! What an idiot!

I can't get the bike to start now....It turns over just fine every once in a GREAT while it will pop, but then give nothing. It is DEF getting gas.

How do you guys remove the spark plugs?I can fit asocket down there but can't find the one that will fit,what toolsare you guys using? I have a feeling ISOAKED the plugs, so I need to get them out and check it out. Is there DIY on this?

Thanks,
Adam

Ive been there with my 95 F3. You have to get thin walled sockets, i dont remember the size but its in the shop manual. If you dont have one i highly recommend getting one from one of the posts on this forum, thats where i found mine.
The best way to do it if you dont want to take off lots of parts is to drop the socket onto the plug, then put your socket wrench and extension down to connect.
Not the most fun, but it works. I recall it took me about an hour to do my plugs.

Can you get these at AutoZone? I do not have a shop manual, and am planning on selling the bike VERY soon and do not want to invest. If anyone has the specs that would be great!

Thanks,
Adam

You can download a free shop manual on the forum, just do a search. I have one, but the files too large to send (28MB). The OEM suggested replacements are: NGK: CR9EH9 or DENSO: U27FER9. I believe theyre 10mm but i cant confirm.
