Thank you Honda
I would like to thank the engineer of my bike for making it so tight that I had to spend 3 hours taking it apart to change 4 spark plugs. Thank you Mr Nagimasho.

It only takes me about 4-5 minutes to change my sparkplugs (3), and that's because I use a torque wrench to tighten them and verify the factory-set gap.

well don't feel bad the guy who designed my gix didn't do much better. Ive spent many nights making up new curse words while trying to perform the simplest tasks on my bike. However once its all said and done we need to take a step back and realize that if it wasn't so tightly packed and complicated they probably wouldn't be able to pack as much power into such a small package. So just go out and twist that throttle all the way and suddenly all the frustration will be gone and you will be saying "Im sorry I ever doubted you Mr. Nagimasho"

honda is really good about making what should be easy things into really complicated things.

My 07 - 08 project was a 77 Honda 750 Supersport with a bent intake Valve Couldn't get the head off without A : Pulling the engine out of the frame B: Cutting the the Upper Gusset on the frame Went with B cut the Gusset and rewelded. Just for the record though Victory Bikes are a pain as well I have pull the seat and then to yank the tank to swap plugs
