You must use the socket in the tool kit or you can purchase one for places like rocky mountain. You can also grind a standard socket to fit but its easier to just use the right tool for the job.

My sockets fit into the head easily. I guess they are just thinner wall than most other sockets.

So yeah, look around for a couple different 18's. Some are just thinner than others.

i really hate the location of the plug. i wish they had it on the side because its deep down right in the middle.

Why the hell can't honda put the sparkplug sticking out the side like the old trx125's and such. Makes life so much easier.

But instead, honda think's we're a bunch of archeologists and bury in the middle of the head.:mad:

It makes the best power where its as. If it were somewhere else it wouldnt run as clean and make less power.

It is very simple with the right tool. One lil tip for ya. When you have the spark plug about halfway out blow the area out with some compressed air, so all the stuff that has collected in there won't go into your engine.
