Just did my plugs today 2009 CBR 600rr. You do not have to drain the fluid out of the radiator. Just unbolt it and push forward and bungee strap it. No need to disconnect the hoses. Getting the spark plugs from the top by removing the air box is more work for sure. Definitely, remove those two air hoses and the 10mm bracket bolt that secures it (it also holds the horn). Move it out of the way to the side as per the video (the ignition coil connectors will come with it too). Probably will have to disconnect the radiator fan connector too (for some reason the connector was a real balls ache). Owners manual says to replace plugs at 51000kms (32000miles). I was at 48,000kms and the old plugs gap were within spec. 0.031 to 0.035in (per manual). You don't have to gap the new plugs - they are pre gapped (and were in spec).
Just finished the plugs on my 2012 cbr600rr. The video was good it helped to see what I was getting into beforehand.the job itself was fairly simple and yes draining and lowering the radiator is necessary! Sure it's possible without but why not make it easy and do it right. Good video thanks!
Gonna attempt this on the weekend , hope all goes well. Just to be sure , do I definitely need the gaping tool , as i already have all 4 plugs in my hand. It would take 2 weeks before i get the gaping tool (not from the US)
+Webb Di Geniuz you can buy one at autozone for $2. You may want one to double check the gap. Also consider putting some dielectric grease on the boots.
Hi, with all the mod's you have made, like the headers, autotune, and all that stuff, does it run's much much better? does it worth it? I'm asking because I own a 2007 cbr 600rr, and I'm kind like to make some modifications like you made, greetings.
I bought my cbr from a modder, took me about 3 months to get it running right. exhaust leaks, stripped threads, weird noises, "custom" tuning (which was just him bashing numbers into power commander maps).
Bro... can u share me the actual gasket picture of ur bike. Bcos I do have the same bike for which gasket need to be changed. Typically I am from India so I need ur help.
I was looking all over for a video like this last week, couldn't find shit. Btw I didn't remove the radiator to do mine. I just unclipped the rail around the pair system and the wiring. I removed the radiator screws and loosened the hoses so it was pliable.
That's precisely why I made this video. I wanted to help get some more information out there because I had a hard time finding any information also. Yeah there are a few ways to do it, I like the way I did it because I needed to flush and replace the coolant anyway (two birds) and removing the radiator did help film the area a "little" better.. lol
I know I’m very late on this comment but for anyone wondering no you do not put anti seize on these spark plugs. NGK’s website states DO NOT apply anti seize onto NGK plugs.
I don't know but I guess it is because he had to move the radiator out of the way and to do that he needs to remove the water hose and that triggers the drainage. TBH, a really shitty design and very labour intesive.
I didn't have to do most of that when I changed my spark plugs in my 09.. I just unbolted the rad and let it hang and was able to change all 4 spark plugs.. it was a bitch but I didn't have to drain the coolant or any of that other shit lol
My spark plugs were stock😮 they lasted 25k miles and were completely shot. Gap was .03 and they were burned through. Cant believe this bike could run lol
Sure, I'm thinking about hosting some small group rides once the summer begins. Follow me on facebook for any PSAs that I may announce. facebook.com/TheHeroRR/
It's maintenance, I forgot how often but I believe you're supposed to replace every 16,000 miles. Usually if the plugs are bad you'll get worse performance and fuel economy, amongst other things.
Brian Rice, my bike used to sputter or surge while I accelerate through out the rev range. For me it usually only happened at low speeds. If I gunned it I wouldn't have a problem or loss of power but that could be different for you. Honda does recommend you change them every 16,000 miles. I didn't do that. my problems started happening around 23,000.
This is from an NGK technician on gaping iridium plugs... "The coating is not the issue when checking the gap but rather the iridium being such a hard material it is brittle and snap off if gapped improperly. When gapping you do not want to apply any pressure or prying force to the fine wire center electrode or insulator or it can be broken and is not warranted. You want to adjust the plug only from the ground electrode. Sliding a tool across the iridium electrode will not damage it though as long as excess pressure is not applied. I am also including a photo of the proper way to gap the plugs. Thanks. Best regards, Brandon Peeler Technical Support Representative" Just gotta be careful using that round gaping tool as you can break the tip
For sure bro! Love the videos and all you've done to the bike, i got a 08 CBR as well and starting to have to go through and do all that higher mileage maintenance stuff.
"This is very stressful because one wrong move could ruin the entire engine" Yeah ok lol. Please give an example of a wrong move and how the engine would be ruined

Do this apply to the cbr500r ?
Just bought it and was thinking of changing them. It only has 15,000 miles

Thanks buddy, you saved me 3 litre coolant. I was about to replace coolant before working on spark plugs next weekend.
Thank you for not making this 20 Minute video explaining how long you broke your bike and all that is for super helpful and super short
Hey, that freaking video is perfect thank you brother. They made my job easier. I have a 2011 but it’s the same same thing.
great video, rebuilt my whole engine and was curious if how the engine should sit in the frame and this closed the deal
YOU'RE THE VERY FUCKIN BEST VLOGGER ON TH-cam
Did my spark plugs today thanks for the helpful video 🤙
Great video, thanks a lot ❤
Also, do you have any how to videos on replacing the oil pump and the chain?
I have one for the drive chain - th-cam.com/video/BjqhYlpf3CI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=yUdL7q06WxItDKxS
Can u make a video on how to unplug the speed sensor please
Just bought a 05 cbr600rr. It has 14k miles, should I change the plugs? Was just gonna change the oil and air filter. Is this ok?! Thanks
Thanks a lot man! Helps me to imagine how to install my quick shifter. Cheers, Mike

Hey, where can I get that spark plug wrench? Good vid
Hey Hero, do you think I could put smog block off plates on from just dropping the radiator? I have the same bike.
Another informative clip.. keep up the great work

I like the mirrors on your bike. Where did you get them?
tripage.com
Simple concise, good video
nice vid man
u can't access them from the top.by removing tank and airbox?
Yes you can, I believe. But this is the more popular way of doing it I believe, plus I had to drain my coolant anyhow.
Have you ever done valve adjustment?
Where can I get the mottos you have ? Please help
this is a gem
Bro... can u share me the actual gasket picture of ur bike. Bcos I do have the same bike for which gasket need to be changed. Typically I am from India so I need ur help.
Gasket for what?
You keep saying wrench, but you didn’t use a single fucking wrench lmao.
Great video man. Thanks!

Hey hero gm. I have the same bike as u and need some help. Can I contact u pls
Do the plug threads need to be coated with anti-sieze lube?
I know I’m very late on this comment but for anyone wondering no you do not put anti seize on these spark plugs. NGK’s website states DO NOT apply anti seize onto NGK plugs.
My manual for a 2006 cbr600rr, it says to use a wire-type feeler gauge. Does it matter?
Yes it does matter. The gauge he uses in the video will damage the spark plug iridium tip
@@DROooPpyOG Thank you for the answer!
have you removed the pair valve system?
Good video man thanks
Do this apply to the cbr500r ?
why do you need to drain the coolant?
I don't know but I guess it is because he had to move the radiator out of the way and to do that he needs to remove the water hose and that triggers the drainage.
TBH, a really shitty design and very labour intesive.
Exactly.
You don't have to. Look up on 600RR.net for a tutorial. I'm pretty sure you don't have to drain the coolant.
Your spark plugs should already be gapped to the correct gap when you buy them. Also, use a wire gauge if you need to set the gap.
What size is that tool that your using to put in the spark plugs?
Spark plug size is 5/8
Awesome video bro
Que código de bujía lleva???
this sounds so difficult
It‘s not as bad as it seems
Doing this job was balls deep shit. Like I hated changing my coils and plugs... hope to never do it again.
Hey i just wanted to ask everyone if i can use a pitbike on a dirtbike track(the jumps are huge)
Thank you bro! 🤘🏽
I didn't have to do most of that when I changed my spark plugs in my 09.. I just unbolted the rad and let it hang and was able to change all 4 spark plugs.. it was a bitch but I didn't have to drain the coolant or any of that other shit lol
Yeah you "can" get away with it, but I tend to break things when I am working in very tight spaces on bikes. lol
Are those stock mirror?
No
My spark plugs were stock😮 they lasted 25k miles and were completely shot. Gap was .03 and they were burned through. Cant believe this bike could run lol
0:36 Making sure you have enough rum to work?
Thx for this video
Same for 2014 cbr600?
Yes
"A very stressful job one wrong move and you'll ruin the engine" 😂😂😂 you're changing spark plugs
wish it was this easy on my 06 1k
Thanks all I need to know
Good video
dope video thx
Thanks man
Hey man I'm in mass :) maybe we could ride when I get my bike
Sure, I'm thinking about hosting some small group rides once the summer begins. Follow me on facebook for any PSAs that I may announce.

thanks!
i see you
What signs or symptoms alert you that you need to change your spark plugs?

Ive had a cbr misfire while riding almost felt like the bike was in limp mode, changed the plugs and it ran beautiful again
Ive never had to drain my radiator to change spark plugs on the many cbrs ive owned
Yeah you don't have to. I just was already replacing the fluid so figured why not unbolt it and give myself more room.
Don't need to gap iridium spark plugs
Huh, service manual said I did, oh well. better safe than sorry.

Ok, thanks for the insight. Luckily the gap was already at the correct amount.

job takes about 4-6 hours with someone that's mechanically inclined, Might as well do a Radiator flush as well while your at it.
Is this corpse husband .0.
First!
