- On request of a forum member, this video shows how to access the spark plugs once a piece of plastic is removed from under the tank. The plastic piece is used to hold a bunch of electrical connectors, so alternatives could be to cable tie the connectors out of the way as I have done, or replace the original plastic with another one that provides more access.
I dont show how to remove the plastic piece (mine was already removed), perhaps something for a later video.
The EWK 14mm magnetic socket shown in this video was purchased from Amazon.

Just watch a video, they took the tank off , radiator moved sideways and heaps of other parts moved to do the same job you did. I was thinking what a pain. Thanks for your video. Will be copying you when I do my change.
Thanks for your comment! The credit for this should go to John B on the Tenere.net forum who was first to suggest it. In that other video Clubby and David were following instructions from the manual.
Thanks MotoGuzzimoto , David here . Yes we did take a video following the offical yamha procedure , the best time i could get it down to was 1 hr 40 min , your way seems a lot simple and easy when a river crossing goes horrible late in the day . I think this alternative you offer is very reasonable and i will be working out how to safely and reliably relocate the wiring and connection harness , any photos that you Mohave sowing the preferred location would be helpful , i have purchased the required tools and a small 3/8 Rachel spinner and magnetic plug spanner caller a Kowen 8805 PJ i think it will be the right way to go and give peace of mind in the future , if you could PM me on dam176@bigpond.com i would appreacite any relocation photos thats avoids the interference conditions of tank mounting yet provides the access
Thanks
Kind regards
David
@@davidmorgan6367 Not sure if you have seen these already, I added some photos for you on the Tenere700.net forum. www.tenere700.net/topic/536-spark-plug-removal/page/2/#comments. Note that I have the harness cable tied higher than it needs to be, so there should be plenty of room to fit an alternate support.
I liked the GoPro close up section well done . 👍 I also have done this mod ( after dumping it in a river & spent a time removing the tank )and raised the abs pump with some washers and zip tied one of the cables back to the loom out of the way from the coil pack ( not the throttle cables ) this leaves a bit more room to remove the coil pack .
Thanks for taking the time to do this vid , mate.
I was concerned about how to remove the plugs on the T7 if I happened to hydraulic the bike, now to add the necessary tools to the ever increasing weight to the tool kit . Great video thanks
Excellent video, can’t wait to see what other mods you come up with!
Cheers, great work with the video in at the cylinder head, really helpful.
What a great video. Thanks! Pretty sure that this job is one that I'll now do, thanks to the detail in your video.
Thanks for the photos mate , much appreciated, kind regards David Morgan
You're quite familiar of that tight spot there. That close up view provides a good idea where to wiggle things.
Thank you! It's useful and well explained. Great job!
Thanks very much for this. The bike-disassembly spark plug routine on the other video, while helpful, was also existential-dread inspiring. This makes me feel like creek crossings are possible again!
M W, yes it is very easy now. All you need to do beforehand is remove that pesky plastic piece on the right-hand side, which is really quite easy in the comfort of your garage. Also worth checking your tools meet the length criteria to do the job. Socket and extension that flexes in the middle, longer than 115mm (4.5 inches) and no longer than 150mm (6 inches).
@@MotoGuzziMoto Hello,did CZcams get tuhat other plus out there?
Sorry, automatick text falsemaker... So, did you get that other plug out there?
@@lasselahti7912 Yes I did at the time, the plugs come out very easy (easier than the coil packs). A week or two after this video my NGK iridium plugs arrived and I had them swapped over in less than 20 minutes. Having the right tools helps.
@@MotoGuzziMoto could you give us the amazon links to your tool that you described in the video
Good how to video...really useful thanks! Cheers, Steve
Great vid clear and precise 👍
Great vid, very helpful - thanks
Brilliant video
Thanks mate, hope it helps.
Well done,thank you!
That's great, cheers 🤙
Good job!!!!! :))
Great, do they come with iridium plugs? air filter on these is easy, plugs look doable and shouldn't need replacing too often. subbed.
The standard plug is an NGK LMAR8A-9, not an Iridium. I think the Iridium equivalent is the NGK LMAR8BI-9. The specs match up:

Great Video...to remove the plastic part for a bit easier access,do you have to take the tank etc off?
Initially yes Simon. There are a few plastic covers to remove front and sides, then 4 frame bolts holding the tank mount and tank into place. Rotate the tank around (or possibly just prop it up a little) to access the plastic piece. It is much less effort than the full disassembly, and only has to be done once.

So how did you remove the wires to the cold pack is what I came here to see and it would seem everything was loose and easy to do so nothing to learn here
In the video at around 7:15 I show the process of removing the coil packs including unplugging the wires to those coil packs. You will also find descriptions and photos in the original forum thread of removing the plastic piece that allows access to the plugs (and prompted this video). Let me know if you still have questions and I'll try to answer them. This is the forum link - www.tenere700.net/topic/536-spark-plug-removal/
good video !!! but why you didn't show us how to remove the spark plug itself with the tools ?
tenere baraudeur, I didn't have room inside for the GoPro and swing the ratchet spanner. As it was the GoPro made it much harder to remove the coil packs. So I just focused on how to solve the things that make the process difficult. The rest is easy!
I am considering designing a replacement plastic part to support the harness (although probably doesn't need it). If I come up with something I'll video it and make sure to remove the plugs as well.
@@MotoGuzziMoto super. Thanks for your reply. My t7 has only 4500 km than i've time to change my sparkplug.
Non credo sia possibile, nella versione europea dove inserisci la mano c'è una serie di connettori del cablaggio fissati su un supporto in plastica a V
Puedes quitar esa pieza para que sea más fácil. Siga los enlaces en mis comentarios para obtener más detalles.
@@MotoGuzziMoto ho letto, ma per rimuovere quel pezzo dovrei comunque rimuovere il serbatoio...
Useful to know it can be done without removing the tank. Ever thought of a career as a gynaecologist 😆?
bet he could even find the clitoris with the lights off :P
But to remove the plastic cable he originally removed the tank has to come off and as / with tank off it is easier.
Great video Thanks 😊
However what an absolute pain in the arse.. !!
I mean to say .. why do Yamaha make so bloody difficult 😫
Rhetorical question .
