Wont make any difference other than the convenience of only having to get the tools out once.

No difference really. It's always good to change everything in one go so you know when exactly what was changed, but to be honest it wouldn't make a difference if you just changed the plugs and filter now

Time involved would be my only consideration. The spark plugs on Fazers are sods to get at, and because they're deep set into the head you'll likely spend a fair part of the day blasting all the crap out and picking out weeny little stones before you can even get a socket on them.

Do it now, we could use the entertainment Laughing

It could take a fair bit of time and there is no advantage to do them together.

Keep a record of what you do when, beyond that, plugs and air filter is all at the top of the engine, you won't go near that with an oil change, so just do it, particularly if you have the parts and the time. How many times will you change the oil before doing plugs and filters again?

Socket with an extension on a ratchet got one out the other day considerably faster than fucking around with the spark plug tool. I didn't cross threat or over tighten it either.

May do them next week when they turn up if the weather permits and I can be bothered.


Did you bother to vaccuum out all the crap round the spark plug, or did you just let it drop into the engine when you took the plug out?

Depends on when last it was given a new oiling. If it was last week why waste all the oil, if it was 6months ago, its your call, if it was, you can't remember do them ALL NOW!

Yeah but they don't work, not on Fazers anyway. Mine are always full of grit with at least one tiny little stone wedged between the plug and the cylinder.
