I wouldn't reccomend this Rangi way of changing spark plugs, but if you are new to the idea and want/need to change your plugs, this will help you.

I saw that guide before I changed the plugs on my MC19. The biggest thing for the MC19 bike is getting the radiator down and forward (I removed the bottom clip and both top bolts, your hands will love you for it), allowing 'easy' access to the hard to get to 3rd plug.

I wouldnt suggest doing it that way at all. You do need to swing the rad forward to get #3 out, but it would be better if you just purchased the correct plug spanner for the job. It cost be about $20 from memory.

Dont dip the plugs in petrol - thats just plain stupid at best when the fuel evaporates it will foul the plug.

Thats a stupid way, don't know why it needs a guide. I did it many times on my one, take a bit of time but is no different from taking out any other spark plugs so long as you have the right socket.
