What wrench?

Will THIS get the spark plug out of my Daelim 125 fi?

It is a deep socket on the cylinder head I bought one last time I changed it about 2K miles ago but it was net to useless and had to take it to the local garage for a spark plug change. Rolling Eyes

It is constant hard starting from a cold engine and starting to piss me off so I am going to try changing the plug if that doesn't fix it off back to the shop.

I bought an fi bike under the impression I'd have none of this trouble with starting in the cold.

Ever since Oct I have had nothing but problems considering selling the piece of shit and just riding my yzf r6 all year round. Evil or Very Mad

It takes a CR8EH-9 spark plug there's an NGK one in there at the moment.

I'm not 100%, but if the 'hex size' relates to the size of the socket one would use, then no, this won't do, as according to the internet, this particular spark plug is 16mm Hex Size.

Remember if you do get a spanner, not to nip the plug in too tight - wanna avoid stripping that thread!

That one won't work no.

They make a tool, a blue T spanner with a spring and socket on the end made for bikes. Most bike spark plugs are actually 18mm.

Thanks.

I have one of those with the blue T handle but every time I go at it feels like it's going to snap so I just leave it.

Will try starting again now the battery is a brand new motobat one so that isn't the issue and I went out earlier started after about ten times.

Just tried it again held button in for around 4 seconds eventual fired up to cut out again (this is normal for this piece of shite anyway) how long is too long to hold in the button before it starts eating my battery?

Roll on March. Rolling Eyes

You can run an R6? but can't afford a tool kit over £7.99, what year R6 do you own?

You could start a thread in the General Bike Pictures section, I have a picture of my 2010 R6.
