gsxr 1100 ##@**en plugs

[gixkat]

gday fellas, has anyone else had problems getting the plugs out of an 86 1100? coz fucked if any plug socket i have will fit down that bloody hole, is it a special suzuki plug spanner for the job??:(
cheers, gixkat.

Not special but a quality thinwall long socket helps. The cheaper ones are too thick and foul on the head casting.

If you don't have a good socket you could try one of those pressed tube sockets.

Are you using the right size? (fucked if I know what it is...maybe 18mm? [V] )

[BANDITROD]

you need a 18mm plug tool from any good bike shop mate or you can grind one down ;)

thanks, fellas i figured i would have to lash out.
cheers, gixkat

Yeah a mate of mine used to borrow my 18mm snapon long reach 3/8 socket and that did the job fine;)

[Seifer]

Yeah i had the same problem about a month back, a 18 or 19mm long reach socket will do it, if it is too thick for the whole then gring it down a bit on the sides and all will be fine. For some reason Suzuki feels we need the same sized plugs a lawn mower.
