I was going to change plugs, got the torque screws loose but cant seem to figure out how to pull the coil clips off. Not much room and I don't want to break anything. There is a retainer but I'm not sure how it works.

Not sure what we are talking about. 998 V- Twin, 1330 triple. 900 triple or the 600 parallel twin. Are you removing the coil or just the wires or both. :dontknow:
Ryker 900 there is a way to remove the coil clip but I do not want to force anything.
It takes a bit of effort to break the boot free from the spark plug. Doesn't hurt to twist it a bit. I assume you've removed the torx screw holding the assembly down. Use a liberal application of dielectric grease on the boots when you re-install. This will make it easier to remove them in the future.Quote:

Some coils have a red clip that is easy to move and then pull the clip off. I tried pushing down on the tab and pulling but no luck.
Push down on that piece in the rear middle of the clip, try pushing it off gently with a small screwdriver. Pull it off. Pull the spark pack out.
Like said on the above post, on the tail end of that clip, where the wires go into it there's a pin ,or post push down on it, some times it pushes hard and at the same time pull back, there's a rubber oring in there so when you have the right combo it will come right off! good luckQuote:

Well there done! my biggest issue my big hands are not good at getting into small places. There is just a tiny ear that holds the clip from moving. Next time I can do it in less than the hour and 15 minutes. The first time I do a project is a learning time. The plug under the frame was was hardest but not as bad as I thought. I also used dielectric grease as I already had it.
