Hi

Just trying to change the plugs on the Gpz900r.
Purchased a motorbike socket/tbar but the wall of the socket is to thick.
Bike didn't come with the factory tool
Any ideas on a replacement tool?


Cheers Mick

Hammer and blade screwdriver will get it off, use your hands to screw new one on.

Bike shops sell some cheap aftermaket tube type tools for next to nothing. Otherwise go to motorcycle wreckers and get tools from a wrecked bike.

For spark plugs or an oil filter Mick? With plugs hidden deep inside the cam box a screw-driver extraction could prove difficult.

MICK !!! WTF are you on mate ???? the guy needs help with spark plugs, not a farken oil filter ! Did you just change yours ??

Try getting a cheep chinse socket set. they are made cheaply, so hopefully have a thinner socket wall. That's hnow i got my last one.

can you remove the socket from the T bar and turn the O.D down in a lathe to give your clearance???

Hi All

I ended up getting the proper tool for $10.95 from local Kawasaki shop.
Suits the D size plugs.
Was cheap and no more messing around.

Cheers Mick
