Ive owned my cbr250r for 8 months and it has run beautifully the whole time. I always change oil and filter regularly and do most of the basic servicing i can myself. But sunday i went for a ride and it started coughing/missing at low rpm (below 5000) and wont idle properly. Almost like it was runnig on 3 cyl until the revs pik up... I drained the carbs, fine. I want to check the plugs but honda has made it almost impossible to get them. Ive got tube sockets and the factory tool kit but nothing will get in there! Im going to have to take it to a bike shop but im reluctant to pay $60 p/h to someone when i should be able to check the plugs myself. Any ideas???:crybaby:

We did it on my flat mates cbr250. Took a bit of time and effort...but it is possible to do it without any special tools. Think we just used my 1/4 inch socked set anda bit of elbow skin.

Lower the radiator and go in from the front
