I have come to remove my plugs on my 848 and encountered an issue removing them due to clearance, now I have turned a 10mm socket down on the lathe to reduce the dia but it seems to be struggling with clearance. now can anyone shed any light on how or where I can get a plug socket to do the job?? now when I bought the bike 3 months ago it didn't come with a tool kit of which I understand there is one in there. currently stuck can anyone help????
I'm guessing you have NGK plugs in there. NGK have the hexagon, the plug spanner locates on, sited further down the body of the plug than oem. The well the plug sits in is tapered, so a normal socket can't reach it. The solution is to either get a special thin wall socket or turn an ordinary one down.
ive just managed to t I have just turned another 30 thou off it so with what you are saying it must be the said plug as my plug socket fits my 749 no dramas,,, only had the bike 3 months so glad I'm finding these issues... cheers old rider...
ive just managed to t when I bought the bike 3 months ago it didn't come with the tool kit... gutted.
