    Default Ryker 900 - Removing glove box and changing spark plugs

    Harbor Freight $8.99 push pin pliers worked well to remove 8 push pins.
    Only 4 push-ins, per side, to access H4 headlight bulbs.
    The screws at the front of the glove box are T20.

    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

    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.

    Did not intend to be too brief.
    Side covers provide access primarily to headlights.
    Their removal is required to remove glove box for access to spark plugs.
