Yamaha 4 Stroke Spark Plug Removal

The spark plugs on this 2016 Yamaha Venture Multi Purpose is a ridiculously complicated process! Although it is not overly difficult to do, the entire seat assembly, fuel tank, and cowlings have to be removed to access the plugs.

Very well done instructional video for quite a complex spark plug replacement procedure on the Yamaha Venture Lite. My hat is off to you!

I just bought a 2007 MP, it runs good but I can tell some exhaust is coming up through the front shroud. I'll take it all apart next summer and fix it up nice.

Great! Hope it is an easy fix.

Super helpful, thank you!

Thanks! I could have done a new video entitled, “How to replace your ignition because you lost both keys and then gain a spare when you find one of them after the fact”. 😂

Thank you for sharing! I’m quite overwhelmed but need to do my plugs and this will help. How long start to finish do you think it took?

[@28fish]

Probably less than an hour. Takes some time to works some of the fitting loose. Once you do it and get confident, it does not take very long. Good luck!

Yamaha apex 4 stroke is totally different to change plugs. What sled is this?

Hello from sweden, i have a venture lite -08, with som trouble changing from forward to reverse gear, i tried changing the chain tension, slightly better but still problematic, i bought a new reverse gear actuator but cant figure out how to get to the old one, from the side the coolant system is in the way. Do you think i will reach the reverse gear actuator following these same steps?

[@28fish]

Thanks for reaching out! Let me look through the factory repair manual I bought from a Yamaha dealer and see if I can get you some answers.

@@28fish Hey again, i was able to reach it from the front, had to take the air intake and som steering parts away, might not be the best way but it worked

[@28fish]

Thanks for the update. I hope your comment can help others who may find it ! Hope you still have some snow for testing out your fix! Saturday we had enough for one last ride; by Monday afternoon it was melted away.

Wow, I thought u were gonna start off wha joke when u went to remove the 2 seats 🤦🏼‍♂️. Unreal what has to b removed to access the plugs. I’m a big Yamaha fan all the way but this design to access the plugs is disgusting. I’m not impressed at all Yamaha on this one. 🤷🏻‍♂️
