Re: Change the sparkplug

Why do you want to remove the tank? To access the plug, you just need an allen key to remove the two allen bolts, holding the left hand cover above the engine. Remove this plate, and you can get straight to the plug.

[attachment=0:3tl584de]img113.jpg[/attachment:3tl584de][attachment=1:3tl584de]b36.jpg[/attachment:3tl584de]It would appear that the manual is wrong!!!!!!!!! Using the spark plug wrench that Susuki supply, is awkward, but you certainly don't have to remove the tank, and the owner's manual that came with the bike certainly didn't tell you to remove the tank - just the plate. I've included a picture of the wrench, and a picture of the page in the manual. Bujia is the Spanish word for plug. The section on the right shows the two bolts holding the plate, then how to remove the plug.
