hey, I have the 06, and changed the plugs out when I did the blocks, cause i was down there.
Unless you're doing the blocks, I'd not worry about the plugs.
At 25/26k miles, the plugs looked great and didn't need changing. But I already bought the plugs, so changed them.
Plugs are deep down. I had a WR plug tool that worked. You'll need to get the Yam plug tool, or aftermarket one. Since I did the blocks, I took the rad off. But I think you can do it without taking the rad off, but don't know for sure.
Disconnect one coil/cable at a time, remove plug, install new one, and reconnect coil. Go to next one. That way you don't get the cables mixed up.
Not a lotta room down there, so plan on it taking awhile because of the short ratchet throw.
hey, I'm wondering if that yam tool kit had a plug tool.
As hunter was saying the time to do the plugs is when you remove the AIS and put on the block off plates. You'll have plenty of room then...
this bike's plugs will last 100k miles

Bluey , I can not see your plugs number, the CR9EK recommended for the bike should be a 2 grounded electrode type?
Fisherman thanks for your concern but dschult2 is correct. NGK recommend two plugs for the FZ1. The standard CR9EK and the Iridium CR9EIX.Bluey , I can not see your plugs number, the CR9EK recommended for the bike should be a 2 grounded electrode type?
I found a great way to remove and install plugs. But it only works if everything is clean....... wait for it.......
A rubber hose!

A. Yes. With the radiator out of the way access is greatly improved.Q. Will a standard spark plug socket fit if I remove everything?
