Change Of Sparkplug

Did anyone try to change spark plug on the CBR, it looks that you have to rip the bike apart in bits and pieces

We thought about that yesterday, for the first time after five years and 54K km. We did it the 'rich Texan way" - just trade it in on a new model.

Actually, those side panels are really easy to remove. However, when you've got big money like PeaceBlondie you just go ahead and buy a new one.

Won't it be great when they bring out the CBR 150 Diesel for all you non-mechanics out there

I have to argue with my mechanic to change the two dollar plug, keeps claiming it's still good.

Thailand is too dangerous for a stalling bike.

Next time I'll ask to see it and throw it across the street in the ditch where he "disposes" of all his tyres.

I've read articles on the US Marine's 650cc diesel off-road that was given positive reviews. Obviously different market segment, but still......

If you can change spark plug in removing the side panels I would like to see you doit I will even pay for it

One day at lunch (military chow hall), I mentioned that I had to change the spark plugs in my Austin-Healey, which had come from the factory with an inline, ohv, six-cylinder engine (which would be effortless to change plugs). An unaware buddy offered to help, not realizing the Healey had been fitted with a Corvette V8. It took us two hours, and the left rear plug came out by using a socket and an open end wrench, whilst lying on the garage floor. I believe the Ford-V8 powered Sunbeam Tiger had a door in the right side footwell for removing one sparkplug.

I remember ending up with a citroen when I was a kid punting cars through the auctions.. In my tarting up of the car I wanted to give it a service and you would have not belived those 4 plugs all at 90 degrees t each other could possibly have fit any piston arrangement known to man..

Well, since you're falang I'd have to charge falang prices. And now that I think about it (trying to weasel out of having to do it) actually, I believe I had to drop the tank to get to it.

Remove the two side panels, loosen the radiator, two screws. Then bend the radiator to the left and then you can see and change the spark plug. Use the socket you got when you bought the bike because the spark plug is quite deep in the cylinder head, removal of the tank is not necessary. Not to difficult to do, you can also look in the manual, you don't need to read Thai to look at the pictures. Cheers and good luck, please PM me if you want to know more.
