Oooooooh, my first main thread post!!! This weekend ime taking all the fairing off my NSR125RK. Ime taking the washers out of the throttle slide (hope there their). Ime also replaceing the spark plug and giving it a good clean round the engine. Bearing in mind what a pain in the ass taking the fairing of the RK is I was wondering if u lot could think of any other jobs i should do while ime ther???

Thanks

Dylan

Do you have to take the fairing off to get at the spark plug? Its damn hard to reach!

Yeah, the fairings a bit of a bitch. There wasnt any restrictor in the throttle slide (thought is was too fast to be resticted) The man from the bike shop tells me it has got a restrictor (talking ballshit again,didnt want to have to go to the effort of putting a restrictor in before i bought it!!), but it hits 95mph so ime not complaining. To replace the spark plug just take off 1 side of the fairing lowers, and use an adjustable wrench to take it out. Taking off the other 2 large pieces of upper fairing doesnt help either. I did try using a spark plug socket and and angled head thing but it didnt work.
