Anyone who is having a HARDTIME REMOVING the COIL PACK, I used a long nose hose plier (the ones with the clamp angled). Since the clamp is angled, it would roughly be horizontal with the coil while the handle of the plier will be angled upward and out. The clamp will clamp the "neck" of the coil pack, I placed another tool like a screwdriver to provide the fulcrum, and press down on the handle, raising the clamp upwards. That did the trick for leverage that my hand couldn't provide. It doesn't damage the coil pack either (just don't squeeze on the clamp hard).
Anyone doing this job and you’re struggling with the coil packs, THEY ARE NOT THREADED put some gloves on and shake it side to side while pushing up on it. When you go to put them back in put a small amount of dielectric grease on the top of the coil and bottom and it makes it way easier next time.
Thanks for the how to, bike is at 15k miles and needed new plugs since 12k. Full yoshi as well and you can tell it’s lean from the plugs being white/rusty. If you have an exhaust I would get a tune asap. Bought the bike at 12k and after seeing the plugs I’m getting a tune asap.
You can do it with the tank full, but it'll be easier to lift and move out of the way with less gas in it. I didn't have to disconnect any fuel lines to move it
@@jepoyonbikes9830 The 1/2" might make it more difficult since it's larger but maybe. If you're having trouble with it sometimes I've used a swivel joint in between extensions
Lol, well this was when the exhaust was pretty new. On install make sure to clean the pipes with some brake cleaner really well before starting it up. If you have a chrome pipe you there are some chrome polishes you could use
Just did air filter/ spark plugs change, MT 07 2020 Ignition is ok, all working fine (seems like) but now “check engine light” is on 🫣 Have no idea what is wrong, all connectors plugged, coils on the place, spark plugs are original and new
@@J2I3H It didn't work, I disconnected the battery overnight. The thing is that I turned the key when the fuel sensor was already disconnected, so the bike turned on the «check engine“ lamp. I removed the light with the computer, further analysis did not show any errors, and everything works fine. I’m writing for people, maybe someone has had a similar situation, don’t be scared to work on things, but be ready for unexpected things coming out, the beauty of this is experience and probably a few new tools in your arsenal :)
@@ANDY1985UK2011 The 2 spark plugs are easily accessible with everything removed. It takes about 15-20 minutes to access the plugs and it doesn't take much longer to get them out.

I could not remove the coils, they were so tight and no enough room for my hand to twist them...

I rotated coil pack like a screw when i was installing them ,did i damage something just curious
No, it spins freely.
Do you need to drain the tank first? or can it be done full.
You can do it with the tank full, but it'll be easier to lift and move out of the way with less gas in it. I didn't have to disconnect any fuel lines to move it
Don't you have a check engine light after changing your exhaust without an ECU tune? If you did. How did you fix it?
Nope, why would you get a check engine light?
Did you connect the oxygen sensor?
Realmente no hace falta quitar el tanque para cambiar la bujía. Solo quitar el plástico del costado y ya esta.
just watching that spark plugs, are you riding with dB killer?
No db killer, I want all the dbs I paid for lol
Did u use a 3/8 socket sets?
Yea, there were no bolts with a lot of torque on them so 3/8 was fine
@@code3kc Do you reckon that a 1/2 would fit through the hole and clear the abs lines?? I'm kinda stuck with it. Thanks

@@code3kc cheers, thanks very much I think ill just buy 3/8 so theres nonproblem. Thanks again! Awesome vid!
Where did you buy those spark plug bro?
I think I just got these on Amazon lol
How do you clean your exhaust pipes? They look so shiny
Lol, well this was when the exhaust was pretty new. On install make sure to clean the pipes with some brake cleaner really well before starting it up. If you have a chrome pipe you there are some chrome polishes you could use

Disconnect the battery for a few minutes. Then reconnect. Should reset the check engine light.

Coming up to 8k now, this vid will help a lot cheers
Would of been much better to show yourself actually doing the job vs after the fact.
I agree, however I don't have a tripod or another set of hands to help with camera work
I disagree. This was a very good video for just explaining his process step by step. Theses bikes are super easy to work on.
@@jonathanjr1894 That may be, to people that work on them often, but not everybody does.
Try & thinks things through before you start yapping, Johnny!
No antiseize. Ever... Torque to spec...
You need to open up a shop. :)
The only thing I'm qualified to open is my garage door to let some light in lol
15-20 mins?? you're having a laugh.
A laugh at what?
@@code3kc think he means surely it takes longer than 20 minutes
@@ANDY1985UK2011 I figured that's what he was talking about, but it really doesn't take that long to get to the spark plugs...
@@code3kc doesn't take long to remove them either ?
