goddamn excellent video. Perfect angles and lighting to see all the work/locations. Love the fact you CLEARLY showed which bolts, wires, parts, etc to remove, and which new spark plugs you used. Fantastic attention to detail
Damn fine video man! 1 good thing about the 2nd Gen ('03-'05) is that the air box and fuel tank were seperate. No need to disconnect lines, instead of syphoning gas, you could prop the gas tank from the pillion seat latch, it's not a fantastic solution, just unless major component word is needed it can come in handy. You can still do all this and then some without needed to mount the bike to a stand/wheel mount.
I’ve never heard of it being bad personally, but to rid the fuel lines/system of air bubbles; i always flip the key switch with the starter button on multiple times to prime the lines and push out any air. The short noise you hear from under the tank is the fuel pump priming the fuel injectors for startup, it starts right up with no issues for me if I make sure to prime it after I’ve removed the tank for service.
Late af but are you asking what piece holds the seat in place? There’s a hook that slides into a hole at the front of the seat, and two bolts on the end where you have to pull back the cushion that holds it in place.
Yes, the Coil packs do rotate but alternatively they should just pop out. You can rotate and pull at the same time to loosen them up and pop them free… if that doesn’t work you can lighten wedge a screw driver under the plug end and try to pop them out but BE GENTLE; you can snap off the cap if you pry too hard!
@@ketchupmustardracing i changed them two days ago because i felt like a missfire.. changed them with iridium and found out the air filter was verrrrryyyy dirtt and cleand it. I will change it soon but i felt a little difference...
@@ketchupmustardracing i must change other parts also. The fork sealings are wasted....the chain...but i will change them because after that a few years i won't spend money in it

Nice video man! Sweet
Glad you liked it!
Isn’t bad to remove the fuel tank? I read somewhere it let’s air into the fuel lines. Correct me if I’m wrong please

Awesome thanks!
@@raymonddd27 anytime!
I’ve been trying to find one for weeks, does anyone know what the piece above the battery is that holds the seat in place is?

Why take off the tank though?
How else are you supposed to get to the spark plugs? It’s very simple to remove.
@@ketchupmustardracing But unnecessary and waste of time
@@jordyechevarria8040 so don’t take it off? 😂 you sound goofy.
Nobody is forcing you to take it off
@@jordyechevarria8040 I removed it so I have more room to film and I also don’t want it to fall over. Fuel pumps are fragile and expensive.
Do the coil packs rotate, or just pop out?
Yes, the Coil packs do rotate but alternatively they should just pop out.

@@ketchupmustardracing Appreciate it, tackling this job this weekend should be quick (I hope lol)
How long do you think this would take to do?
Two hours give or take, depends on how mechanically inclined you're and your toolset.
Sooo I guess I'll never be changing my own spark plugs. What a pain in the azz!
Does it have to be empty of fuel?
No you can keep the fuel in, I suggest running it lower than full before changing tho just to be safe! 🤙🏾
The frame is cut under the air box I’ve never seen that on a 2co r6
Yeah I thought it was odd but it’s made that way. I checked
Any changes in how bikes rides and runs?
Not really noticeable after but the bike definitely responds better with a fresh filter and new spark plugs. 👍🏾

@@cristiroland nice! a dirty air filter will make a bike sluggish.
