Time to change spark plugs on my '2017. I hope this vid will be of help. Also I do remember that as soon as you feel resistance while screwing in a new plug you will need to do only 1/4 turn to tighten it up. There is crush washer so you must not get it completely flat. This was the repair manual recommendation for my old FZ1 '01.
Awesome video! Except my plugs have to twist off not get pulled is that normal? I was able to do the 2 right ones but the far left is giving me trouble...
Trippy Bruh it’s really not that hard u can also do it by undoing the radiator but my hands aren’t that small plus I also did block off plates at the same time
Def don't want loctite on any spark plugs ever... If anything you'll want to use anti-seize so they don't mess threads up in the cylinder head next time they're removed
Haha, why so much work for plug replacement? Hows about two radiator mounting screws and one fan plug, and the radiator drop forward exposing the plugs a lot more than from the top. You're welcome.
It would be nice for viewers if you would include part numbers for spark plugs, what the gap should be set at, what the recommended mileage is that you should change them at, etc. Also, I would recommend getting rid of the "donkey dick" by installing block-off plates. Also, you might as well do a throttle body sync while you're in there. Just a suggestion.
0:32 Really!!! @ 3:50 all wimpy with the tank for what?!? why dont you throw it away as well? It's your bike you can burn it if you want but thats lack of respect for the machine and who developed it.
I got one exactly the same bike (Orange ABS version) and would never do that to my seat, hell i would never do that with the seat of an old bike. Watched your vid because im thinking on changing the plugs @ 8k or 10k but going to use Denso Iridium instead of NGK. So some insight was valuable.
After watching that, my spark plugs are fine
I appreciate that I'm learning a lot. Seeing you physically remove the spark plugs goes a long way. No short cuts next time. Your teaching! Good job!

Thanks very good explication! i have change my spark plugs tonight
Nice Help man, thanks a lot👏🏼
Throwing the seat away was scary! LOL, but the rest was professionally executed, thank you.
Excellent video, I destroyed my hands taking off and putting the damn spark plugs back but that's not your fault lol.
Did the same on my FZ-07. Not looking forward to three on my 09.
I'm blown away by the fact that I heard hilltop hoods playing in the background!
downhillbkr247 haha right now many people listen to em
SpeedClutchLean nobody here in my area knows who they are. I've been jamming to them for over 10 years now
downhillbkr247 yea they play on my bliss n eso Pandora
Nice video, just changed my plugs tonight with the help of this!
Impervium glad I could help man anything else let me know
I was waiting to see how you through the gas tank away as you did with seat.
I replaced my spark plugs on my 2015 fz09 and now it’s showing a 5d__33 code . Any chance you know what it is ?
tnanks
I have to remove all that shit anyway to change the air filter and do a TB sync. Now I know what to expect. Thanks!
The spark plug size 5/8 perfect fit for those wondering
Thank you man
Awesome video! Except my plugs have to twist off not get pulled is that normal? I was able to do the 2 right ones but the far left is giving me trouble...
Rolando Meza yea they kinda tread but at the same time don’t it’s weird if you give a little tug should pop right off
SpeedClutchLean sweet ill try it tomorrow. My next move was going through the front. Thanks bro!!!!
Rolando Meza no problem let me know if you need anything else
All of that for spark plugs?? Thanks for the video man I need to tackle this soon. Beats having a shop do it for $150-200 for labor.
Trippy Bruh it’s really not that hard u can also do it by undoing the radiator but my hands aren’t that small plus I also did block off plates at the same time
Do you locktight every bolt you took off when you put them back on? Including spark plugs? Asking for a friend
No but make sure you torque the important ones you can usually do a quick google and itll usually give ya what ya need

hey guys , what is the model of spark plug ?

Great video, to Yamahas engineer, “you should be executed for doing this”
you don't need to tighten your spark plug so much. Screw it in with your fingers until it starts resisting. Then do just a 1/4 to 1/3 turn. That's it.
Can you drip me the relocation vid?

hawaiielite because the way I showed gives someone more room to work and better view points
hawaiielite but thanks for your input
Ah good man. Going to do this soon and looks a pain in the ass. Will have a go at this method. Thanks both of you
You didn't need to gap your plugs at all?
honestly I did not
@@speedclutchlean3460 well that's just fucken stupidity
@@madeulook5421 they're pre-gapped from factory.
@@Chuzo1946 not always the case. A lot of dealers will provide regular (non Yamaha branded) ngk plugs as they're identical besides packaging...
whered you those passenger pegs
They’re stock just painted em
What is with all the mismatch colors? Looks like a pack of skittles, lmao.

Jeff RT yea I ended up doin the plates thanks for the suggestions super appreciate it
No problem man. Safe riding! :)
what is the "donkey dick" thing called and why should you remove it?
0:32 Really!!!
@ 3:50 all wimpy with the tank for what?!? why dont you throw it away as well?
It's your bike you can burn it if you want but thats lack of respect for the machine and who developed it.
Gotta take care of the tank it's all pretty
