Title: Do I have to remove any body covers to get to the spark plug?
Post by: kbshaq on October 11, 2016, 08:11:26 PM

Purchased a CR7EIX plug and should be coming in any day now.
I just want to know the best way to get to the plug.  :)

TIA,
KBS

Remove seat and the cover where your heels are located when riding.

FYI & germane to nothing...
Honda Forza scooter has a cool little side panel that lets you in to the spark plug.
Sadly, no Iridium plug yet available.

Thanks for the replies.
So looks like I have to remove the body cover.  I have a handle on the "bucket seat" cover to the engine (6 bolts, 2 phillips screws), but haven't done the foot rest yet.
Any idea how long it would take to figure out how to take it off?   (I saw a post online for a doing the same thing on a People 150, and it took 1.5 hours of guessing)  :)

Help us out here GT owners...
Is it just the 2 screws (green circle) and some clips holding that center panel in place?
Screws go in red marked area, otherwise it is just unslipping the tabs/clips?
And spark plug is accessed behind this panel?

Thanks again Stig - I was able to replace the plug with your exploded parts view.
So, here's how I did it:
1. Remove the engine cover, under the seat (total 6 nuts, 2 phillips head screws)
2. Remove the seat (total 2 nuts)
3. remover the center cover that covers the engine.
4. As you're looking straight at the engine (from where the center cover was), the plug is on the right side.  The best way I can describe it is the plug is diagonally positioned into the engine.
**The plug itself does have the top terminal stud, that was removed.  So it has only the screw.

(Hope this helps future DIY-spark-plug-replacers)  ;)
