DIY: 2023 MT-10 Spark Plug Service

[@2WCapo]

Update: bike is running excellent after the spark plugs and new filter, feels like new again.

Your more patient then me, bravo for this job capo.

[@dotaleet]

Thanks for sharing.

[@2WCapo]

Thanks for watching!

[@23Empty10]

Thanks for the video. I'm in the same boat currently, over 11k on mine and have the plugs just need the time to get it done.

[@2WCapo]

Hardest part is probably getting out the coils without breaking them, but you got this good luck.

[@peroels]

Great instructions! Did you investigate if it would be easier to lower the engine? I'm not really looking forward to start this operation

[@2WCapo]

@@peroels I’ve heard that you can loosen the radiator and access the engine better from the front. That’s probably how I will do the valves when that time comes. Thanks for watching!

How hard was it to put coils back in flush? I can't mine down flush

[@2WCapo]

@@tommcguire2346 try twisting them back and forth while pressing down. It’s a real pain but doable. Worst case scenario you may try to loosen the radiator to get a better angle at the plugs.

@2WCapo i put a little grease on the seating o rings at the top,and it's going down now. Pita though

[@2WCapo]

@ nice, and yea now I’m kinda wondering if I seated mine fully or not lol. It’s running fine so 🤞

[@philliprobertlawman2232]

Why are you changing plugs already? Is it surging or just to familiarize yourself

[@2WCapo]

@@philliprobertlawman2232 Service manual says every 8k miles, I’m over 11k now. Haven’t ridden it yet but will be riding tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing if fresh plugs and new filter make a noticeable difference .

Where did you get the spec sheet at? I’ve watched several videos on this and each one says it sucks. Especially the far right plug I believe.

[@2WCapo]

@@h2oFun my buddy had a pdf of the 2018 MT-10. Most of the specs are the same for the 23. If you google around for the Service Manual (Not user manual) you might find a download for it off a forum.

[@h2oFun]

@@2WCapo thank you. I have a PDF for my R1 but finding stuff in there is not all that easy when you’re flustered. 😫🤣

[@2WCapo]

@@h2oFun no doubt, they didn’t make these crossplane motors easy to work on, go watch a spark plug job for a Gixxer 1000. Makes me want to trade bikes lol.
