Anyone found a plug wrench that works well with the limited access? Swivel and extension on a ratched works fine in the garage but thought I might pick up something for the tool bag.

 

For me the OEM tool does the job very well.

 

Assuming you carry a spare plug... right?

Yeah, for me the factory wrench works fine. With the Iridium plug, I figure there will never be a reason to change it in the field unless I break it.

 

OEM tools work well for me, too.

 

kind of made my own, so i don't have to completely remove the gas tank to change the plug...short enough with a small ratchet handle...just enough leverage to unscrew and screw in the spark plug.....will have to take a picture of it...

 

Never had to remove anything from the bike to remove the plug. The OEM tools work just fine.

 

never seen the oem tool set...maybe i should get a set...the one with my bike was lost

 

Motion pro sells some tidy plug wrenches. Like the other I usually just unzip the pouch and use the factory tool.

many cycle wrecking yards have big bins of stamped out tools form japanese bike. Some even sell them by the pound. If you know your sizes you usually get some tools for the trail pretty cheap.

 

A buddy of mine who has a 2004 KLR 250 had to make his own out of a socket. He had to grind off most of the wall thickness to get in there. Engineers should be required to try all of this stuff out before it leaves the factory.

 

I have a stanley spark plug socket that came from wal-mart that fits just fine in there with a short extension FWIW.
