Changing spark plug

Post by Kalemakapii »

Just changed oil and oil filter today on my 2014 Forza. Easy and fast. However, accessing the spark plug has proved difficult. Can get my socket on the plug but it is so tight in there, I can't get good enough leverage to turn the plug (counter-clock wise).

Has anyone changed their plug yet? What advice would you have? I wish a spark plug socket/wrench came with the bike.

Thanks for the assist...

Hi, changed my spark plug after 5000 miles. It's a 2013 model Forza 300. It is a deep 14 mm socket with a wobbly six inch extension and ratchet. Easy Peasy.

Yup, picked up a 6 and 10 inch extension and it came out easy. Amazing how the right tools make things so much easier... it's a lesson I re-learn every time. So, plug, oil and oil filter change is quite easy.
