Dunno if anybody ever noticed...

But changing the front plugs on a VFR is a bit of a shit job, isn't it?

 

IIRC you have to swing the rad(s) out of the way.....

 

Indeed you have to. Which is fun, especially if the bolts that you're
supposed to remove are rusted solid.

Oh well, it's got four new spack plugs now.

 

Oh, deep joy. Yes, horrible job. Done it once, on (IIRC) Paul Corfield's
VFR.

Just as well, seeing as it's owned by a spacker.....

 

Nearly as funny as your Whitesnake years

 

Do they come with special needs tools too?

Actually, they do. Oddest spark plug key I've seen in a while.

 

I knew I should've stuck Iridium plugs in so I wouldn't have to touch
them for another 35k.

Then I figured that I probably wouldn't have it long enough to worry
about that.

Yeah, yeah, just keep insulting me and I'll have to drown my sorrows in
expensive Cognac on Saturday...

You have *locking spark plugs*? Christ, but you live in a pikey area...

Pah. Changing the gear selector on a Z1300 with the engine still in
situ. *Thats* a shit job.

Well, given the cost of the spark plugs and what I tend to do to a bike's
resale value, I probably doubled the value of the bike by installing the
plugs.
