Changing Spark Plugs
WTF!!!!
I wanted to put in my Brisk plugs today...what a FN project! Why in the World do they make it so freaken difficult to change plugs??? I really hate to admit it, but I gave up and put it all back together when I realized I needed to remove the dam radiator. I just lost all enthusiasm when I got to that point because I wasn't expecting to have to do that. I guess I can't really fault Honda for the design...well...yeah, yeah I can cause all they had to do was make the dam air funnel easier to remove! But NO, ya getta push the thing to the front of the bike, which puts it right into the radiator unless it's removed. Ahhh...still crabby I guess, sorry guys just whinning a little, 70 bucks for FN plugs that have to sit on the shelf until I get motivated again

Well I had no idea it was such a chore to get at the plugs...Holy S--t. I started with the right frame of mind.
I'll gitter done, the 95 degree heat didn't help much either! Supposed to be in the mid 60s Tomorrow, might muster up some more ambition, we'll see. At least now I know what I'm in for and will be able to get it done rather quickly next time around. I think I'll be making a Modification to that air duct though, some kind of quick disconnect. Cut it in half somehow. Hmmm...now I'm thinking.

lol I feel yah man. Its like what is the point of the maint covers then huh. It is no reason to give up though. Get out there and finish the job man. I found that if you just remove the front lowers you dont have to take the radiator all the way off. Its just two bolts. Just lower it enough to get that scoop slid out of the way.

2 bolts??? Are you serious? Cut it out! I got all pissed off over 2 bolts? Stop-it!
Dont you have to mess with the hoses and stuff? maybe even drain the dam thing? That's what it looked like to me. But maybe I was looking at a Mirage...it was pretty hot in there.
I'll go check it out again today. Got big plans for that scoop!!! FN thing.
