Good video and good camera angle to show the point of focus… You do
tighten the plugs a little too much for me.. I tighten them with my fingers
as much as possible and then turn them 1/4 of a turn with the wrench..
Remember they will be subjected to intense heat and the metal will expand
under heat.. Too tight and you will have trouble getting them out the next
time.. Thanks again !
thanks for the instructional video one question though what spark plugs are
you using and where can i get them…?
Thanks so much this was a big help
Colton. . On a 4 cylinder it would be 1 per cylinder not 2 : )
Always nice to see a video where you get to see everything up
close….great video and it’s a great tutorial…hope to see more from you.
I have the same thinking. I always put anti-seize on my plugs as well as a
little dielectric grease into the wires as well. Just the way I was
taught…
Thanks mate!
You are wrong my friend. This bike has 4 spark plugs. It has 2 per cylinder.
Lmao I’m a tool. I thought there was only 2 plugs.. Don’t ask me why.. I’m
in vt125 mode lmao. This video helped a lot thanks mate. Now to order
another 2 lol.
nice and clean job! Well done!
Good video on point. Ha ha you said groady. I thought i was the only person
that said it. Maybe its a honda thing.
Great and helpful video………… might suggest the anti thread seize
grease for those who are interested in that.
thank for teh video. didnt know there was a spark plug wrench. I fear I may
have damaged some threads.
what type of wires r u using?
do not forget a spark plug gap between the contacts! it should be of 0.80
and 0.90 mm (0,031-0.035 in). Useful video.
Wow that was EeeZee and fast compare to sport bike 🙂
thanks a lot, helped me change my plugs
Good video and very informative to novice mechanics like myself, but at the
same time you don’t insult experienced ones.
Ya to bad my front left plug decided to cross thread and gum the treads.
Now I have to pull the head a re do the threads
this is a real risk if you are not careful. thanks for sharing this.. how
much did it cost to do this ??
thanks for the video bro!!!!
Should have shown how u took the plugs out behind the chrome piece under
the tank. .
Thanks perfect
Shouldn’t you use anti-seize on those plug threads?
It totaled $230 for the shop to place a Helicoil insert in the port and for
the new gasket for the head plus labor. I would deff recommend using the
factory tool kit to replace the plugs in the future or just allow the shop
to do it. I am able to work on my bike no problem but it was a pain to have
something so easy turn into such a mess.
I like your vids, they save me a bunch of cash, thanx bro…keep ride’n.
good video.. i would recommend dabbing the new spark plug (around the part
where it sits) with little bit of engine oil before popping it in.
Thank You very much! I need to change my plugs because my bike has been in
the garage for 6 years. I was only going to buy 2 plugs, but after this I
now see there are 2 more hiding! Thanx Much!
Could not fit my deep well socket in and thaught I was going to need a
special socket. Didn’t even think to look in the tool pouch. Very helpful
thanks
I appreciate this video. I had NO idea where the other 2 plugs were. Gonna
change mine tomorrow
Thanks for using a tripod and good light!
OMG this is FANTASTIC..I have the exact same bike (year and color!) and
thought I was going to have to take a lot more panels off… I did buy
four; the only way I knew there were four plugs is b/c the parts guy knew.
Like the person below, it’s been six years since I rode it. So this video
has saved me lots of time and money (labor costs!) THANK YOU.
Great vid…… safe ride
too much slack in your chain. unless you plan on havin a 400lb chick on the
back. id go for a half inch
I’m not using any wires.. just the boots and connectors that are already
part of the bike.
Good video, thanks. I’m thinking about trading for a 2005 Shadow Spirit 750
and your video enlightened me on the fact that this bike has 3 spark plugs,
I never would have guessed that.
It has four…
Thanks-nicely made video helped me a ton!!!
I thought I had to take my tank off to change those other 2 plugs, thanks
for the info!!! Good video!!!
Great video! I’ve never changed spark plugs before, you made it very
straightforward and now my girlfriend thinks I’m a badass because I did it
in front of her in a wifebeater while drinking beer. ‘MURICA
