I just purchased the factory recommened plugs, NGK DPR8EA- 9, and they have the threaded tip on the top. I haven't taken the plug wires off yet but do these type plugs fit the factory wires without any modifications ? Thanks for any help!!! Bull. :???: :???:
Avatar, thanks for the reply. Now all I have to do is find a socket slim enough to slide in the hole to the plugs. Any idea what type of socket to use ? Bull. :???: :???:
The one supplied by Triumph fits easily. Others have reported one sold Sears, A thin walled Craftsman one will work. I imagine there are some Spark Plug Wrenches from some Kawasaki's and others that would also fit, If you have a bike salvage yard nearby that might be a good thing to try. I found some nice tools cheep from other bikes to complete the tool kit I carry on my TBird.

I use my Craftsman, 18mm, six-point, deep-socket. The socket was part of my 154 piece Sears socket set. It isn't listed as a thin walled socket, but it fits.
I suggest finding a piece of rubber tubing that will fit snugly inside the socket. It will grip the plug while you pull the socket out.
Also, don't forget the anti-seize compound.
Have you figured how to get at the number two plug yet?
yes i did.....after you ratchet it loose...push a piece of rubber or plastic tubing (fule line)..down over the plug, and pull it out carefully...it helps if you have skinny fingers .. lol ....hope this helps ....tom
