What is the secrete to changing the sparkplugs on my 94 FZR 1000? The frame and engine are VERY close and none of my sparkplug sockets fit the one plug I could get to.
All tips and suggestions welcomed and appreciated.

Sparkplugs
When I changed mine on my YZF750 and my wife's YZF600 we used a 12 inch extention and a universal knuckle with the sparkplug deep socket. After the body was off, it was about 30 minutes each bike. The outside 2 were not to bad, but having small hands to help to get back to the center two worked great. Just do not rush yourself and use a can of air to blow out the wells before you remove the old spark plugs. Keeps dirt and debris from falling in. Also I found starting the plugs by hand with a very small amount of oil on the first thread kept them from cross threading.
