good god that is a fiddle

OK changed the plugs on the ZTT 190 today. Ruddy hell someone was having an access laugh!! I could have done with being 17 foot tall!! Useful for reassemble has my departed mum's hand mirror; new I kept that for a reason.

The plugs looked quite horrible so hopefully she will feel better with this in!

mild refurb on the wheels today but only finished after dark; will attach a pic tomorrow. Had a quote for 400 quid to refurb as they are quite tatty. So decided to have a go myself to make them passable. £14 on paint and allot of swearing but better than before!!

They are a bit of a fiddle - best to take it slow and steady than cross-thread them!
Thankfully my ZT-T uses some dark magic to ignite the fuel, rather than these newfangled spark doo-dahs.

indeed; getting the old ones out was the main issue as they were very very stiff! The new ones went in nicely.

Did you remove the access panel before removing plugs?
