Help! Is there a tool or a technique I can use to help with changing the plugs on my 06 Uly? |

Here ya go: http://www.buellxb.com/Buell-XB-Forum/General-Moto rcycle-Chat/Spark-plug-write-up Just make sure you start threading them back in with a piece of rubber hose and NOT your socket/wrench. This will avoid stripping the head, which is quite easy to do. My first time at this job only took 20 minutes, it's really not that bad. |

Don't forget to put anti-seize compound on the new plugs. And silicone dielectric grease in the boots. (Message edited by rwven on June 03, 2010) |

Could anyone please say a brand/model of dielectric silicone grease. I've found silicone grease, but I'm not sure if it is "dielectric". So it would be easier for me to know what I'm looking for. Thanks |

You can pick up a tube of Dielectric grease at any Autozone or Advance Auto. I think the last I purchased was Permatex. |

Should feel a 'Click!' You can peer up from underneath, the boots cover most of the insulator on the plug. Mark SE AZ |

I never heard or felt the "click". I believe that the dielectric grease may have had something to do with that. |
