Since I already purchased iridium spark plugs, I changed them at only ~850 miles / 1 month service.
Since iridiums are touted for 100,000 miles in my truck and last SUV (went 140K on originals), if the Ryker turns twice the RPMs, cruising, they may last 50,000 miles in the Ryker.
Access to front plug is restricted by vent hose. Clamp is 1/4"...socket worked well.
Coil fastener is T30...not easy under frame bar. Required L wrench.
Spark plug is 5/8" (16 mm)...rubber insert essential.
Does this make replacing the headlight bulbs with LED bulbs easier, as in giving better access then removing the side panels?
The first step in removing the glove box is to remove the four push pins for the side covers which give access to each headlight
Cool, thanksQuote:

As far as the glove box removal ?
Open glove box
Remove 4 pushpins with pushpin pliers
Open fuel door
Remove 4 pushpins with pushpin pliers
Lift side covers from nub shown in post 1, photo 1
Remove T30 screws, shown in post 1, photo 3
Lift out glove box partly, disconnect wires from USB ports.
Fully remove glove box
Note: I've removed many automotive pushpins with knife or small screwdriver. I would not do so with the Can Am pins.
Not seen under a 600 glove box to know position, but should be simply 1 less.
If a push pin is damaged, they are not expensive.
10 for $5.99 at local Can Am shop.
I guess I should have said does it give better access then removing the side panels only.... :)Quote:

Side covers provide access primarily to headlights.
Their removal is required to remove glove box for access to spark plugs.
