I have been riding bikes since 1976, always done as much mechanicing as I can and never had much problem, until now !

I feel really stupid becasue I can't find where the bloody spark plugs are on my 2003 Tiger !

There is no mention of them in any of the handbooks, even the official Triumph Manual doesn't mention them, so where the hell are they !!!

This is driving me mad so please put an old man out of his misery !!!

PLEASE !!!!

Off with the tank and off with the airbox and they're they are under the large round rubber plugs.

Bloody hell, you gotta take tha tank and air filter off to change the plugs !!

Luckily the tank is already off, but surely thats pretty bad fro Triumph, plugs are supposed to be the easiest thing to maintain yourself !!

ANyway thanks for the info !!

Agreed it is a doddle. Once the tank is off most jobs are very easy to get to. I've certainly worked on more awkward & fiddly bikes.

About the only thing that seems to slow me down is getting the little side panel bits that the indicators. So what I was wondering was, has anyone used Dzus type fasteners on these panels? Or any other comments about using them?
