2018 Africa Twin spark plug change

[@Fazerdot]

what a nightmare thanks for the video

[@Andrewlone174]

a bit helped to build quad engine swap

[@pursuitofhappiness..]

Thx..yes it's very messy going there but I think these are iridium sparks and they go at least 80k....

[@EransJimmy]

You are correct regarding the iridium sparks, but according to the service manual, they require replacment every 32k miles / 51.2k km

[@pursuitofhappiness..]

@@EransJimmy ок..and with 51k have you done valve adjustment..mine is 21k and thinking but sadly don't have a book to check this

[@EransJimmy]

@pursuitofhappiness.. According to the manual, it says check valve clearance every 25.6k km. I have never done this, but you do raise a good point, I'll add it to my to-do list.

[@pursuitofhappiness..]

@@EransJimmy and you never heard rattling nose sometimes when engine is hot..🤔 I do sometimes that's why though about this n maybe because of oil viscosity 10w40 I use instead of 10w30

[@EransJimmy]

@pursuitofhappiness.. Before I did this oil and plug service, I used to often (not always) hear rattling sound when starting the bike (it always stopped after a few seconds). This stopped after this maintenance job, but I don't know if it's due to the oil or the plugs.

Thanks for the video.

In the meantime you cracked the plug wire rubber boot 😪 I had to change mine cuz that crack would ground out my bike

[@EransJimmy]

Nice catch! I actually fixed it with super glue, and it holds nicely

[@jessrumblin]

@@EransJimmy no leaks?…

[@EransJimmy]

@jessrumblin none that I saw. I did some stretch test after glueing before installing and it looked firm

[@boomblab23]

At this point of disassembly, just pull out the air box, clean it, change the coil and plugs, valve clearance, air filter and coolant flush. This is why im never buying an Africa twin😂 it's a whole day job (speaking as a motorcycle mechanic)

[@TammyDenseDdank5658]

Its the same with T700. How worse can it get?

[@robsonenduro3316]

horrible design...
