Excellent post. :2tup:

Just one comment from a REAL bad personal experience:

Clean around the base of the plug BEFORE you remove it. Compressed air is best. Loosen it and then blow again BEFORE removing the plug.

Wonder why I say this? Honda 550 Nighthawk. 4 plugs. 3 came out no problem. When removing the wrench and plug on the 4th, I see a small, round rock roll through the hole and INTO THE CYLINDER. One giant AW CRAP! :skull:
