Thank you Honda
 

I would like to thank the engineer of my bike for making it so tight that I had to spend 3 hours taking it apart to change 4 spark plugs. Thank you Mr Nagimasho.
:rant:

It only takes me about 4-5 minutes to change my sparkplugs (3), and that's because I use a torque wrench to tighten them and verify the factory-set gap. :shrug:

have always said that if the engineers had to work on the stuff they design things would be a lot easier from then on.

well don't feel bad the guy who designed my gix didn't do much better. Ive spent many nights making up new curse words while trying to perform the simplest tasks on my bike. However once its all said and done we need to take a step back and realize that if it wasn't so tightly packed and complicated they probably wouldn't be able to pack as much power into such a small package. So just go out and twist that throttle all the way and suddenly all the frustration will be gone and you will be saying "Im sorry I ever doubted you Mr. Nagimasho"

Did you have to move the engine? They tell me I do on mine, haven't tried yet.

honda is really good about making what should be easy things into really complicated things.

try installing headers on an NSX. eighteen hour job. ask me how i know :P

the FZ6 is about as fun

You have to pull the engine to do it or just 18 hours of fighting with it?

just about, subframe has to come out to include the front motor mount. major pain in the ass trying to unbolt the mount around the frame. and then when you go to put it back together the studs have spread out from the car's weight and you have to do your samson impression to pull the chassis back together enough to get the frame back in
