have been looking on you tube but cant find video on changing plugs, one mechanic said I need to raise back of gas tank a couple of inches. anyone change theirs yet?
You can pull the tank in less than 5 minutes. A no brainer to pull it. The you can clean the bottom of the tank and also have easy access to the top of the motor to do a little detailing while it is off.
On my older bikes 10K was the mileage interval for plugs, however on the M8 my dealer said not to change them till 20k miles.

Good luck hope all goes well.
The service manual says 30k or two years, whichever comes first. But plugs are cheap and its easy to do. I figure Ill do mine every 4 oil changes.
