I Have replaced mine with and without the AIS and it is a foccer of a job with the AIS present , I removed the tank , you could prop it up and used the tool provided with the tool kit .
Yes I'd agree deadeye. Removal of the AIS would make the job so much easier but I like a standard looking bike with all the bits in the right places with maybe just a few tasteful extras. I just don't see how the plugs can be removed with everything in place ? How do they remove them if you take the bike for a service ? Do they really have to strip everything out of the way to get to them. Unless you have hands the size of a 1 year olds I just don't see how its possible. The only reason I replaced mine was because I had the radiator off for a repaint, otherwise I would have left them well enough alone. I can't understand why access to a standard 'service' part is so awkward :\

Removal of the AIS seems to be the way forward when dealing with the spark plugs on the gen1
I haven't had to do the job yet, but the AIS has been removed on mine ^^
