Thanks for the vid. As a tip, to start the new plugs in the head, cut a 6" long piece of vacuum tubing and slip it over the electrode. You get great feel that way for getting the plug start. Once you give it a full turn, just pull it off the plug. I learned this years back from a marine tech working in really tight spaces.

Gratitude from Los Angeles California! Good video.

Great video. Thanks from the Netherlands!

Excellent... thanks. especially for noting the little cap that needs to come off the new plugs.!

It feels like we just changed my plugs together..lol... perfect tutorial

Byrds 1967 you are the best!!!! Man thanks for making motorcycle care seem so easy! Dude you are much appreciated!!!

The Clymer book made me remove everything. If only I found this video sooner 😭

Thanks,you saved me a lot of money doing it myself.

Excellent video. Make more please of different jobs.

Thanks for this detailed info!

Thanks from Lithuania!

Really? @7:27 the new plug is going in with the nub...

It is easy to start a plug with a few inch long piece of fuel line. I always keep a couple different sizes in with my tools.

Excellent tutorial thank you. I would've used a little anti seize on the plug also a little silicone grease in the plug boot will aid in keeping moisture out and easier to remove the socket from the plug. Have a great day.

Thanks from germany ! youre video was very helpfull :-)

I had a backfiring issue after adjusting the plug gap with that round gauge. (Garbage, throw it out) it set the gap too narrow causing a weak spark causing unburned fuel to re ignite in the exhaust. Use a proper feeler gauge to set the gap.

Thanks guys.

What's a spark plug is that hold the oil in the motor

Thank you for the spark plug cap tip!! Just gotta unscrew it. Thanks

Great vid ... thank you !

EXCELLENT!!! Thank you!

thnx man

Thanks nice video

Thanks from Russia )

what is the best reference book to buy for a bike. I adopted my Dads 1100 Vstar. having some Speedo issues where it's located in the tranny. I'm not a mechanic per say as far as self maintenance but I'm looking to change that. I'll be watching. thanks.

You should always blow around the plug with compressed air to make sure there is no dirt that can fall into the cylinder.

How big is the spark plug socket you used? Thanks

where can I find a video that shows how to change the coils on the 07 1100 vstar ?

great!

much easier on this 1100 vs the 1700 roadstar (Which has 4 plugs and tank needs to be moved)...but i just replaced my NGK plugs after 20K miles and they still looked brand new perfectly tanned..

What year is your bike?

I have oil in my spark plug. My bike has been popping. I took it for just an oil change and they decided to change my spark plugs and put something in the gas tank.. It hasn't been the same since. The spark plugs they put in, popped and my friend changed them out real fast, but didn't do the ring size thing I don't think.. Either way, its popping again and im sure if I change spark plugs again, there will be oil inside.. What's the issue?? I'm not sure, maybe carburetor cleaning or replacing I'm not sure.

my bike top covers don't come out like that, I have to removed the tank first in order to removed the plugs.. theres 2 screws I need to removed for the cover

Frannis C .....Dude...I am girl who rides a vstar 1100 classic and I completely understand to take the caps off when I replace my own plugs......be a big boy and take the little caps off and quit your complaining....enjoy your ride.........................

Lol 😝 the Nubba Bubba lmao 🤣

i all my years never had to use a torque to install plugs.

HAHAHAHAHAH.. NOIOOOOO. you still forgot the nub!

What? No beer or cat needed to perform the spark plug change?

You say to remove the plug cap when changing the plugs yet in your video you replace the plugs with the plug caps on. Which is it ? No point in saying one thing and doing the opposite.

The tools you need are in the bikes toolkit get real

Jesus man you say that it is important to take out the protected nub from the sparks before install you install them, I mean the nub caps on the sparks! right?.. and than few seconds later you set up the new sparks with the damn nubcaps..????? wtf..!!!!
