Author Message   Markiemark Posted on Wednesday, February 02, 2005 - 05:26 pm:        has anyone tried installing the buell pro series spark plugs? If so, is this easy? or should i have the dealer install them when i have the tires put on tomorrow   Gentleman_jon Posted on Wednesday, February 02, 2005 - 07:54 pm:        Let the dealer do it. It isn't a hard job for a good mechanic, but figuring it out for yourself might be a bit frustrating.   Buelltroll Posted on Wednesday, February 02, 2005 - 10:05 pm:        Just need an extension and a wobble head deep well socket and its not too hard at all.   Lovematt Posted on Wednesday, February 02, 2005 - 11:30 pm:        I just did this about 2 months ago and it took about 1 hour total. The front plug you don't need a socket...just a wrench once you get the left side air scoop removed (as you are sitting on the bike). The rear one you need a universal joint between the plug socket and an extension and GO SLOW. I believe I removed the airbox base (black plastic base the air filter goes onto) to make it easier. It is a little frustrating but I was expecting it to be several hours...surprised it was only 1 hour from first unbolt to firing up the bike...next time should be faster having done it before.   Wyckedflesh Posted on Wednesday, February 02, 2005 - 11:37 pm:        Gear wrench is the KING when it comes to the front plug   Xb9rski Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2005 - 10:18 am:        Don't waste your money on the Buell spark plugs, go with the NGK one's. "Ride it till it seizes" Ski   Dr_greg Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2005 - 03:02 pm:        What is the NGK plug number for the XB9R?   Xb9rski Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2005 - 03:36 pm:        I'll have to post that for you when I get home tonight. Or if you want do a search I've posted it before. Ski   Xb9rski Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2005 - 03:39 pm:        NGK DCPR8E   Cataract2 Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2005 - 07:49 pm:        Hell of a lot easier to get to them on these than my FZR. To do those you have to drain the cooling system and remove the radiator. Ohhhhhh, that's fun.   Kevinfromwebb Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2005 - 10:12 pm:        The Iridiums are NGK KR8AI When I asked about them at O'Reillys they used the stock number#5477 and said they were a special order and would take about 2 weeks.. Kevin   Xbolt12 Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2005 - 10:45 pm:        DCPR9EIX run great, no fouling, one heat range cooler for hard running. The only hard part about plug changes is getting the @#$^%#$ wires off. Best to just buy at least one new one. They are no joy to install either, but at least you won't tear the wire apart installing it. xbolt12
