FZ1 2009 - spark plug change
« on: 01 February 2016, 01:40:15 pm »
Guys
Need to do a full service this weekend (but not valves...) and never changed the plugs before (garidge did it last time) - any tips please to avoid wasting too much time?

Many thanks

Re: FZ1 2009 - spark plug change & rear wheel bearings.....

Ok many thanks - will do.
Just got in and checked rear wheel bearings - they're shot; that will be the third set in 35,000 miles and I've been pretty careful when fitting them (freeze new bearings and hot air gun on wheel etc). Think it's the pavement edges that catches the needle roller. :eek

I replaced my spark plugs on my FZ1n last year. You only have to disconnect the top radiator mount & swing the radiator down, with much fiddling you can replace the spark plugs.
