    Default Plugs and wires

    Good day everyone,

    Sometime this week I will attempt to change the plugs and wires (thanks BajaRon) in my 08 GS. Hopefully this will alleviate the misfiring I am experiencing. I am still running the OEM plugs and wires. Do you folks have any suggestions/tips and tricks that will help out the process? I always appreciate the shared experiences of the good people here. Thank you.

    Default Well....

    If all stock that front plug is a bear..though you can get it through the instrument panel I have found the best way is to remove the air box completely. On the GS it is not that hard to do. Take your time and breaks and you will manage fine...

    Thanks for the good advice. I plan on taking my sweet time. I just wish they weren't buried so deep.

    I removed the air-box and replaced it with ones of JT's air filters just because the stock air-box made maintenance such a pain. Mind you I also used Bajarons Iridium Spark Plugs which means they don't need swapping so often anyway:-) Did a video at the time and the first bit from 16 seconds in may be of help just because it shows the steps for removing the airbox:
