Suzuki V Strom 800DE Spark Plug Replacement

- At 7500 miles (12,000KM), you’re supposed to replace your spark plugs. In this video I show you how I did it. I am not a mechanic or trained technician. Don’t do what I do if you’re not willing to risk damaging your own bike. Take your bike to a certified shop.
You’ll need to take off the plastics and tank. You can read my post on the V Strom forum about how to do that

Great video, really appreciate the effort to help us out, I removed the tank to install the oem heated grips following the steps on your other video!!
Thanks man
Thanks for this, these videos are a great help to people doing their own service.
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to record this process.
Looking at those plugs tells me I'm not doing it at 7500 miles but great video nun the less
Those iridium plugs will last forever. I'll wait until I feel the need to do a valve set before even thinking of plugs.
The thing you missed was blowing off the top of the coils with an airline to remove any grit that may be there. It does look like that plug change could be skipped tho
Did you follow a printed manual for this? I don't understand why there isn't a handbook you get when you buy the bike.
There is a service manual available through Suzuki, but I don't have it yet. I had experience taking the plastics and tank off already. Beyond that, it was just examine and go.
I appreciate your video, but there is no way I would be checking or replacing these spark plugs before the first valves clearance check and probably even later. These are iridium plugs that last in automobiles for life or at least 160000 kms. If there was really a need to replace them every 12000 kms, then Suzuki has a serious design flaw.
Suzuki and their Dealer's, just want your money and lots of it. Please quote what having the plugs replaced at a Dealer would cost! That and a Valve adjustment would be so cost prohibitive that 99% of owners will never do it: My recently purchased 800DE is my 91st New Motorcycle in 62 years of riding, touring, semi-pro racing, 1/4 mile races, Baja events, ISDT Rally's and I built Dyno winning HD Big Twin engines and raced 2 stroke Desert and Motocross and even Trials and I have always done my own maintenance; Stay away from DEALERS. I was recently quoted $180 for just an Oil and Filter change for my first service @ 553 miles and If I wanted THEIR recommended, CHECK all the boxes service, it was $280. By the way, Sparkplugs in MODERN engines, running NO LEAD gasoline and looking as great as yours, probably won't need changing for 70-80 thousand miles! I'm a Subscriber and I compliment your Video's!
So your an amateur motorcycle rider.
Lol, Nice see others that hate to wast money at the stealerships.
I got my 1st mini bike in 1967 or 68, not sure but many moons ago.
I wish the shim method was never invented..
Incomplete video!
