Replacing spark plugs

[RandallNeighbour]

I put jacked up the back end and removed the rear wheels to gain access to the coil packs, which have to be removed.

Be sure to remove and inspect your plug tubes and O rings carefully when you change plugs as they can get cracked and allow for oil leaks. Some guys use a boat transom plug to remove the tubes... they get stuck in there really tight from all the heat.
