Thank you so much for going over the spark plug, I was so confused when I saw the differences there. I kinda figured you could take that off but wouldn't come out and was scared to brake the spark plug or damage it, now I see it needs some more force THANK YOU SOOO MUCH
My coils were extremely stuck, tried wiggling and pulling, only got one out. If you're experiencing the same issue, try putting a zip-tie around the coil, then make two 'handles' with zip-ties through the zip-tie you put around the neck of the coil. Pull evenly on the zip-tie handles and they should come out (you still do have to pull quite hard).
Thank you for your help I just bought the 2006 I used to have a ninja 900 1984 the whole configuration of this bike it's like wow I'm an aircraft mechanic I know how to work on motorcycles but I've never ever seen something like this very extreme I have the tooling my ninja 900 wasn't that hard to change the spark plugs I find this engine and dimensions very dynamic this bike is very very difficult to work on but love it because I'm blind it's my bucket list to ride again and I've been riding she's a beast thank you for your info very helpful
I read on the forums You don’t need to unclip the injectors you also don’t need completely remove the air box which means not needing to removing fuel hose, just have to remove one hose that goes from middle to right side of air box and loosen throttle body clamps.
@2wheeledlogan I have a 2004 kawasaki zx 6r 636 and it's not starting all the fuses are good battery charged up what could it be its turning over just not engaging its like a car when you turn it over its trying to start but will not need all the help could it be no spark
The only gasket type item I can think of in there is the rubber boot that connects the spark plug and ignition coil. I don't think you can just buy that boot without buying the entire coil assembly.
i replaced my stock plugs with the NGK CR9EIX and it was running rough. I pulled all the plugs out and the gap I had set were all gone and push against the wire. Are these plugs too long for the 2005 ZX6R? Someone help tks
The stock NGK CR9E and CR9EIX have the same thread reach (19mm) so that wouldn't be the issue. This sounds indicative of a much more serious problem. I am not a mechanic so I can't say for certain, but something inside the combustion chamber is possibly hitting that spark plug, and could cause the engine to detonate. I'd recommend having a shop take a look at it before it gets worse!
2WheeledLogan I regapped then put them back in and went for a ride 5 mins she ran perfect then back to backfires and rough accel. I read similar stories of review of counterfeit NGK plugs on amazon, which is where mine were purchased. Getting new plugs at autozone today and we’ll try again. 🤞🏼 Thanks for your help!
@@84agc Do the plugs look damaged or beat up after you pulled them? It very well could be a counterfeit plug, but it could also be something failing within the engine and allowing the piston to strike the plug. Listen for any "pinging" within the engine that could be foreign material within the chamber. Just be careful and good luck.
Yo it's been a while, I know you don't remember me, but I started watching you a few years ago after meeting you out riding. Anyways, cool stuff man, I noticed you moved from the 256. I'm down in Orlando attending motorcycle mech institute. Should be back up there next year, so look around for my name at shops for a technician. I'm pretty sure I can help with anything if you ever need it. Btw I'm Honda and Kawi certified.
How's it going man? I am horrible with names but better with bikes. What were you riding then? Congrats on the schooling! And yea I moved away from Alabama last summer. I miss it, but it's cool up here. Basically right outside of DC now.
2WheeledLogan I was on a all red and black f4i went to a lot of rides shows etc, if I remember right it was on the parkway near cycle gear where we met. And thanks, I will actually be moving to Tennessee when I finish up, either near the smokies or Nashville. "Gotcha powersports" is my number one I'm trying to get with. They have done all my work on my bikes before now lol.
Ah gotcha. Well that's awesome man. Good luck with the future career moves! If you find yourself further north holler. I'm usually riding around...well when my bikes are running.
2WheeledLogan are you near Princeton? Well nvm, that's probably too much info I'm asking. Anyways yeah. I'll hit you up sometime, and def could make something happen.
I was able to pry them out with a flat tip screwdriver. They are a real pain in the butt to remove, and you have to take a lot of care to not damage the head cover while you're prying.
I just did mine right now. The ignition coils were a total bitch to get unseated. I used a wrench and had to yank like hell to get then off there. Took about 2 hours for the full job due to those things.

Great video.. I know am 4 years late to the party.. just wanted to ask do the spark plugs need to be torque settings tight ?

nice! now i know what im doing tomorrow! i was hoping you said somthing about the air filter cause i want to change that with the plugs and coils
Glad it helped. I have a video on the air filter replacement/charging as well.

I like NGK brand.
That Office insert made me laugh out loud. lol
Cool vid man. Good job!
Thanks!
Thanks for the info bro... ✊🏾👍🏾✌🏾
Helped out man...
Happy to help!
Awsome job man how did they work out, did you get better fuel economy and notice that things were smoother? After how many miles did you changed it?
Haven't noticed a significant change, but my old ones weren't too bad to begin with. Changed around 16000 miles.
I'm in the process of replacing my sparkplugs some advised me to change sparkplug gasket. I loozed online for this part but can't seem to find any
The only gasket type item I can think of in there is the rubber boot that connects the spark plug and ignition coil. I don't think you can just buy that boot without buying the entire coil assembly.
How did you get your fuel hose clips to stay on I clicked them back but they still slide right off
I'm not sure. They just clicked back on and held. Only thing I could think would be the hose isn't fully seated before you clicked it in maybe?
What made you change your plugs?? What symptoms or issues u were having before u changed them??
Boredom more than anything. Bike was 10ish years old at the time. Felt like refreshing a few things.
Good video. I subbed.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for subscribing!

Princeton, NJ? No. I'm in the Stafford, VA area now.
Is it the same with an 07
That I'm not sure about. I am sure the process is fairly similar, but the engines are different.
Love you bro😂
How do I get the coil out ?????
I was able to pry them out with a flat tip screwdriver. They are a real pain in the butt to remove, and you have to take a lot of care to not damage the head cover while you're prying.
Yeah I just gave them a wiggle they came out thanks for the video helped
Out a lot
@@michaelarellano7716 Glad you were able to figure it out and the the video helped! Sorry my reply was so late.

Those things are a bitch. It took me a while to get them without damaging any other parts.
nice video Logan now hurry up and get her back on the road lol
Thanks! It's getting there. Not much else left. Just trying to find the time is the most difficult part.
psh you think that's tight...
