For those who want to change their 9ers plugs on their own, beware. Plug nbr 3 will hurt you in dark places. I was able to find the right tools which made ALL the difference. 3 life saving tools: Honda vtx 16mm spark plug wrench from niche cycle supply. Pair of long nose vise grip/pliers with a bent tip. Extension magnet to pull the wrench up so you can get a grip on the wrench at a lower point of the wrench.
I was able to get nbr 3 out without removing any hoses. Raise the tank, move the radiator forward, and u r good to go. Once I had the 3 tools above, start to finish took 30 minutes. Without the tools: several hours of life that I will never get back........
