Hi, thanks for the helpful and good quality video. May I just suggest to insert few more comments in your video for those who might be less familiar with this operation (e.g. replacing spark plug #1, tighten spark plug up to xxdaN, ...). Cylinders are numbered from 1 to 4 starting from the bike lefthand side when being seated. As often, the difficulty of the operation comes from the lack of accessibility. I just changed the spark plugs on my CBF1000 FA by NGK Iridium spark plugs and got it done by: - removing the seat (main and rear) - removing the side covers (left and right, front and middle) - lift the fuel tank (remove the 2 front screws, loose the back bolt and lift the front part of the tank) - remove the ignition coil next to air filter on the lefthand side (to better access spark plug #2) - remove the breather just over cylinder #3 in order to access spark plug #3. According my experience, spark plugs #1 and #4 are easy to replace while #2 is a bit more tricky. #3 is the most difficult one.
Hi Mikkei Yes, I’ll keep doing more videos of the CBF 1000 eventually . Just activate the notifications to let you know every time I upload a knew video. Thanks for your comment and for subscribed to my channel. Regards Pedro
Hi, thanks for the video. Mind me asking why not use Iridium spark plugs, and did you drain the entire coolant from the bike? Meaning the radiator and on the bolt on the right hand side cover?
This video shows just how ridiculous simple maintenance tasks have become. At least you can still get a few bikes where changing a spark plug takes minutes instead of an hour or two.

Ciao, ok, ma dovresti far vedere anche come si smonta il serbatoio. Ti ringrazio
