- I tackled the dreaded spark plug change on my 2011 Honda CBF1000 GT finally. 18000 miles done on what I think is the original spark plugs. Well worth doing!! I also show how to change the air filter for the bike. If you have any questions on anything I show in the video please let me know in the comments. :)

Would you attempt to do this job yourself? Do you own a CBF? Do you want a CBF :)
Have CB600F8 and it’s pretty similar, the frame makes it a harder job then it should be. Well done though. I will say one thing, there is a socket that comes in my tool kit for the plugs and it makes the job dead simple with a 14mm spanner, think Wemoto sell the the socket for cheap too 👍🏼
Yeah it does indeed, you have to kind of just reform your arm bones a little :P it's actually a grand job really just a bit awkward.
I have heard of this mythical thingy, I must see can I get one as it'd be nice to have for next time :)
My CBF1000 started making this strange clicking noise once heated up... so glad you uploading these videos - have some references 😁
@@HBees79 clicking or ticking? It could be your valves need adjusting if it's ticking :) Also check your oil, too much/too little can make odd sounds.
@@TheGorillaBiker I've noticed i have that slight ticking sound from the top left and side... I put it down to the injectors making the sound.. loads of folk on the forums have asked about the same strange ticking sound too
Thank you so much you gave me the confidence to change the spark plugs and break pads and oil change. on my cbf 1000 2008. If I didn't watch your video I wouldn't of done the job. Thanks again..
Ah delighted the videos helped you and well done on getting it done :)
Haha! Loved your smug face when the bike started 😁 thanks for the vid, and I for one would appriciate the fork rework video as well!
Hahaha I had completely forgotten to check it so it was smug relief :D No bother and I'll be doing it soon hopefully so I'll record it :)
Brilliant again. I looked at changing mine and changed 1 and 4 lol 😂 I will have another go. Coming up for its service.
Haha ahhhh no don't do that :P 4 or none :D Just keep at it and you'll get them sorted :)
Good job well done I bought some plugs fer mi XJR and timed it that when the shims were gettin done they put the plugs in for me but I reckon it would have been a whole lot easier than yours were ta do, WOW what a pain in the rear . Always interesting ta see someone else work cos ya never know what tricks ya can pick up cheers . : )
AH sure some bikes are just bloody awkward for them is all :D Good idea getting them done at the same time tbh, easy job to do if you're doing the valves anyway :)
It is called progress. Watercooling, electronics, just adds to the struggle doing the simple things . . . Do you add copper grease to your plug threads? The biggest pain on across the frame fours as I remember was getting all the dirt and crap out of the orifices around the plug before I took them out. Question: Have you ever had a spark plug fail? Fun job, the joy of big motors. Good presentation.
Yes indeed, however I think a lot of stuff could be made simpler to service and it's very much a thing where not much thought is given to making it easily accessible. Now thinking on it this bike is actually fine, but a lot of modern stuff could be better, servicing just needs to be ranked higher at the design phase. As we said before tho bikes arent made to be practical anymore.
No I've never added copper grease to anything, I do change and inspect the plugs regularly on ally bikes, they come out at least once a year usually which probably stops them binding.
The Magna is a pain to clean the spark holes out, one benefit of this bike was it was very clean in there, should probably say that whenever I do it again to clean it out in case someone is doing it for the first time.
I have indeed. On a car though, once ever put of probably thousands on my stuff and people's stuff I look after. Well made things in fairness :)
Thanks! :)
Well. Just bought a 2006 CBF and these videos are very helpful......BUT, mine came with lowers and virtual every bolt was ####### siezed up. What an absolute ball ache 😪. Eventually sheered them off and drilled out before tackling the jobs.
1 Coolant done ( including thermostat)✔️
2 Oil and Filter done ✔️
3. Air Filter done ✔️ ( where did you get your Filter from ? 😅 ).
4 Spark plugs!!! WTF. Took one out and thought....they're OK and didn't bother. Absolutely no room whatsoever. Iridium plugs saved for next time 🤔.
Was going to change break and clutch fluids but, yet again stripped one of thr screw heads. Another drill out required. I wish these problems were discussed guys.
Glad they were somewhat helpful! I got my air filter from freeman motorcycles. :) Glad you got most of the jobs done, the sparks are difficult like I said in the video but worth doing and having done. Just time consuming.
I couldn't have discussed the issues you experienced as I didn't experience any of them :) I would recommend getting a JIS screw driver if you're stripping a lot of them as that might be playing a part. The brake fluid reservoir bolts are fairly common to rust if the bike is kept outside. Haven't had issues with the lower fairing bolts and I covered the difficulty level of all the jobs in the videos at the end! :) And guy I'm only one person! :)
Oh that looked a hugely fun job! :D Well done on getting them swapped out. Is great to shout out good customer service! :-)
Oh it was brilliant :D Almost tooooo much fun :P Thanks amigo!! Nice to get these things done :P
Ah they've been sound out! It's nice to know a few good dealers :)
Like trying to work on a new car. No space to work. Good job getting that done!
Ah we won't put that evil on it, much better than a modern car in fairness but yeah....similar lack of thought given to servicing the things 😂😂 Why they don't design things to be maintained I dunno.
Thanks :)
Hii great videos ! :D how often do you change yours spark plugs ? I think that's not something I would like to do by myself :D
Thanks! It depends, I'd follow the recommendations for all my separate bikes, or the spec for the plugs, these iridiums are supposed to be good for 20k miles or so!! :) Ah you'd be grand just take your time :)
Been waiting for this video for a while now but can’t do the job as some fool T Boned me at very low speed. Only damage was left pannier scratched front left fairing and a few scratches on the fairing around the headlight, and a bent clutch leaver. Can’t believe insurance have gone for a unrepairable verdict. I’ve owned my cbf for 4 years really looked after it it still looked like a bike that was only 2-3 years old. I’m devastated.
Ah I'm so sorry to hear that, insurance will write off anything these days, but I am genuinely sorry to hear about your bike. It sounds like you're ok though which is by far the main thing! You can always get another CBF, I know that likely doesn't help right now of course.
Just doing mine now... I had the newer model and they gave me the older model.
For the air filter? Some pain.
@TheGorillaBiker yes, but managed to get the right one. I got to the sparks plugs and decided it will be someone elses headache.
Good stuff. Haha fair enough!! I didn't find them that bad, but they're also not the easiest!
I've heard it is a bitch of a job to do, but this video has definitely given me some confidence!
I own an 08 CBF1000. I purchased it 12 months ago. Has just shy of 60,000klm.
It had sat for almost 5yrs, so the tank is full of flakey chunky rust 🤮, so I have to fix that issue, which I actually have the same tank restoration kit that you used on the Gixer tank. That video has also been a confidence booster.
Considering I will be removing the tank to sort the rust issue, I may aswell change the plugs, air filter & possibly replace the fuel pump & filter also.
The iridium plugs you used, what is the codes for them? Also do you have any idea where to purchase a new fuel pump for the CBF ?
Any more tips or hints with the tank rust strip / re seal kit would be greatly appreciated also.
Love the videos mate. Have a good one.
Yeah like it's annoying but definitely not terrible or anywhere near the worst bike I've done.
Very nice :) Small miles for these bikes really.
Ahhhh balls. Rusty tanks are a pain, have a look for a used one too it might be easier if they're cheap.
I'd change all of those but just inspect the pump and clean it, I think they're expensive enough so might be ok with a bit of attention.
Yeah I can check the plug code later I also said it in the video was they were I think, out loud at some point.
For the fuel pump if you want to search the code on cmsnl.com and then try eBay, or buy direct from cmsnl but they're expensive.
Honestly, with the tank just patience, clean the living hell out of it, then clean it again :)
Thanks man :)
I tried to film me doing the triple's plugs - but it turned out there was too much blood, swearing and tantrums for it to be published ! 😂
Hahaha ahhh yes. Sounds like me with the Fazer plugs the time 😂😂 I was too large and inflexible to do them without a lot of my own blood :P
fork service would be grand to see.
I suppose I'll try record it so :)
Of course I would do the simple tasks.Good thing that one of your videos on spark plugs was on that Hornet , cuz I have the same one and next year I'll check does babys out.I am still having problems with the front sprocket , don't know how to get to the bloody thing to clean the extra grease that's stuck there.
Apparently there is a Honda tool that is in the original toolkit that makes the hornet job easier so look for that too :) Hmmm, did you see my CBF chain and sprocket video? The front cover should be very similar :)
@@TheGorillaBiker Actually its a bit harder because there are two hoses in front of the cover and I made things worse by putting extra crash bars from GIVI that also are in the way XD (maximum protection for the cost of making a easy thing into a living hell) :D
Hahaha ahhh yes.....like me and the tank of the gsxr, adding the steering damper changed it from 2 seconds to 5 minutes 😬😂😂
I appreciate it’s more work and a bit of a pain but the jobs a lot easier if you remove the tank, more access and you can see what you’re doing.
Yeah fair, I'd very likely do it this way again tho as it wasn't too bad to get them, didn't take me a huge amount of time and a lot of my access issues were more caused by being too large a bloody human :D
Great job✌️great bike .
do you have any scrap parts for the honda cbf 1000A from 2007? I would need the literometric probe😅.
Thanks! It is indeed!
I sadly do not, I actually sold the bike when I moved country.
Very helpful Thanks.
Glad it was! :)
I don’t mind doing minor tasks on the bikes. Helps having the right tools as well.
I'd happily do everything to be honest, the problem is so many jobs do require specialist tools that's sometimes the investment isn't worth it!
good video well done i wanna ask something totally different iv bought mine in 2013 totally love it still driving trouble free got 54000km now. what can be the problem when taking hands off handle bars and start to shake did check balancing and bearing still doing it. anyone with similar problem other wise love the bike
Head bearing can be an issue but also the CBF1000 just tends to shake, I changed the head bearings in mine and it helped but it never completely eliminated it, you can also raise up the back a bit, that also helps, but it does seem to just be a thing this bike has inherently.
@@TheGorillaBiker thanks will try and see will let you know how it goes another thing where can i order bottom fairing for the bike would like to upgrade a few things we dont get all the things in south africa
Google is your friend there, I'm not sure as my bike came with the lower fairing!
Good choice on going iridium mate.
Danke, makes sense when it's an awkward job to spend the bit extra :)
If i remember rightly i did say they were a nightmare to get out a few months ago lol i did the same and put the iridium plugs in mine im never changing them myself again its going to a garage to be done 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha I do believe you did :P They're not great but I have actually changed worse believe it or not :D Yeah iridiums ever time and using them until they absolutely have to be changed for me :D The garage will not thank you :P
Bloody rain. Wow. Who’d have thunk it. It’s 1:30 am. I may fall asleep. I hope I fall asleep. If this is the only comment, I fell asleep.
You fell asleep....😂
Hahaha he definitely fell asleep, sleepy Chewie :D
Good job 👍👍🏍🏍
Thanks!
Well.... waterford man here... i recently bought one and was trying to lower the seat but i'm scratching my head a little... its at the highest position now and when i lower it, it wont sit on the plastic side panels properly.. it hangs over them and flares the seat... any suggestions please?
Well! I've never lowered it, a bit tall for that craic, personally I think the higher/lower seat thing was a gimmick. The highest position looks crap cus there are huge panel gaps and I didn't try the lower. So no suggestions sorry! Other than live with the seat being flared
Man the plugs were a bitch on my CBF600... I can't even begin to imagine on a 1000.
Haha honestly probably a very similar amount of pain, same frame just a touch less space I'd say :D
@@TheGorillaBiker I was able to wrestle the plug socket from the OEM tool kit on #2 and #3 without removing any of the coils at least. Had to remove the coolant pressure cap "elbow" from the frame (with the hoses connected, no draining coolant or anything) and the emission hoses but didn't have to manufacture any "special tool" at least 😁
2 and 3 plugs - I feel your pain, bro
Haha got them eventually :D It's a nice auld challenge :P
mine won't start after 4 months storage :/ it will be useful to me thanks
Ah well I hope you get it started again! Could just be an old battery that doesn't have the CCA anymore!
@@TheGorillaBiker I got it :/ I put injector cleaner + alcohol, hold the starter longer than I should a dozen time, charged the battery between attempt and it miraculously started. Now it start like new, not sure what caused this in the first place :/
Iam at the stage now after lifting the tank and looking at 2&3 iam thinking ummm maybe it's best left to the professionals 🙄
I'd bet you can do it if you've gotten that far :) But if you're worried about it then do, better than breaking something. But if you can reach in there, you can get them.
@@TheGorillaBiker yeah iam going for it bud I've the same tool kit as you plus a few more odd extensions and knuckle adaptors etc. I've got plenty of time and a good garage to work in so I should be fine lol... I did the oil change yesterday with a new air filter as well very easy job so iam going to challenge myself with the plug change like you said it's not a difficult job just very awkward and a good dose of patience is required.... Thanks for the reply and and uploading the video it was really helpful 👌
Honestly you'll be grand then, once you can get there you definitely have the skills to do it, lifting the tank is harder :D Yeah patience and you'll be grand, getting angry or rushing is when you'll have a bloody bad time. Very awkward though :D Not at all, very glad it was useful :)
@@TheGorillaBiker all 4 in bud 🥴 I had to take that top coolant hose off to do number 3 but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.... A good look at the job inhand' making sure you have the tools and a bit of patience and you will be surprised of what you can do... 👌 I've put you in my favourites and will definitely use your insight and videos in the future 👍
Nice one! Congrats! :) Yeah I think I just shoved it out of the way if memory serves :D Yeah honestly patience has always served me well, any time I've broken something in the past was primarily because I lost my temper or rushed etc. Thank you, and glad the video helped, that's why I make them :)
Nice video, I have the same bike in the same colour and done my spark plugs a couple of months ago. Yes it is awkward job but it can be done no problem. You should check cbf1000 forum for a clues so u would know what to unplug ect. Are u on cbf 1000 Facebook group? BTW u are liar , u must have started bike before and warm it up properly after plugs replacement and u if u didn't than u made a booboo. 😀
Ah very nice. Yeah like I when I timed one plug, 3 minutes odd is pretty quick so no issues really, just have to be careful due to the space and breakable things!
I don't really use forums tbh or facebook, I barely have enough time for work and doing the videos as is :)
Nope, not a liar. I hadn't started it yet as I'd just changed them. I had to take it to the shop after I finished the video anyway, I'd rather not gas myself in the shed :D
Hate it when I get the wrong part, at least it looks easy to change the air filter. Plug sockets, universal joints and magnets all good friends of mine. Sounds super tight getting those plugs out. Yes, Honda engineers don't use anything they design. 🤣 I need to check my service manual, it may be time to change plugs on the ninja...
Ah it's veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery easy, like 20 seconds work realistically! :) Haha the magnet is my best friend after those ones :P Ah it was just access and finding the threads is never ideal in tight spaces, haven't ever cross threaded a spark plug yet though and I've done thousands of them on cars and bikes :) Haha they might just all be incredibly flexible :D
Hahaha it probably is :P I change the standard ones every 10000km or the iridiums go for some length I still haven't checked :P
