I liked your video. To my amazement, you are the first person (other than me) I've seen to find the short cut in getting the front plugs out, by just moving the oil filter a little. Another little tip for the rear plugs is, you don't need to remove the fuel tank, just take out the four bolts, (2 front 2 back) and lift the tank a little, then move the back end to one side to do one plug, then move to the other side to do the other. That way you don't have disconnect anything. I know you was removing it to do the pump and filter, my tip is just for future reference. And another good tip is for the smoked indicator lens. I done the same, and found they were a loose fit, so I cut a gasket out of a thin rubber sheet to place around the outer edge of the lens, so it fit snug between the lens and bodywork, thus making a good solid fit. Keep the good videos coming!!!
Good video, Thanks! Your about the 100th person to find the plugs lose with some oil on them. The oil is apparently normal due to the design of the head/plug sleeve. The general consensus on the lose plugs is that they were not properly torqued on the assembly line. Google it you'll find many accounts of the exact issue and I personally had the same experience. Bike ran great the whole time. Your threads are most likely just fine. Fortunately I changed my plugs soon after buying the bike. Never had them come lose again, I check them every off season.
Man i got myself a VFR800 couple of weeks ago. Love the bike. Even got the 50 year anniversary edition first owner with 107kkm on it. Thank you for the video this helps a lot. Bit you should look into deleting the snorkel in the airbox and the stupid vakuum activated valve thingy on there. People say it will run way smoother in low rpm and has better throttle response. Cheers
Important to torque the spark plugs……the reason the threads get stripped is because “they say” you do 1/2 a turn after installing to finger tight…..that’s why the Honda engineers specified a torque….
