You should have a plug tool in the carry tool kit. Its pretty tight, but if you unbolt the rad, shift it down, and move the plastic guard out of the way you should be able to get in there without too much hassle. If those plugs have fouled again from regular use, it could be mixture issue. If you've been briefly starting and stopping it regulary, then just stop doing that. Hope this helps

Yeah you will need to undo the radiator holding bolts but probably will not have to disconnect it, just move it around to get the plug tool in.

Crampy, don't use Iridium plugs if you are they will foul at the drop of a hat for no particular reason. If this isn't the case give the bike a good sound flogging or a nice solid rev (over 8kRPM) then immediately hit the kill switch while it's revving. That may solve the problem.

If not get it tuned mate. It may be well serviced and poorly tuned.
