How to change the spark plugs on a 2007 Vstar 1300

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this video, I change the spark plugs on my 2007 Yamaha Vstar 1300 Tourer. I TRIED TORQUING THEM TO 9 FOOT POUNDS BUT WAS AFRAID THAT IT WOULD STRIP THE THREADS. I was using a cheap Harbor Freight torque wrench. I really need up upgrade to a better one. Also, I'm using a different microphone. If the sound is bad, let me know. Thanks for watching and stay safe! #sparkplugs #vstar #1300tourer

    Looking at doing this pretty soon, thanks for the handy video, this'll help! (Love how it's setup so you can easily scratch your tank eh?) I usually put a strip of electrical tap along there to protect it till I'm done.

    Don’t know what number I am but definitely got me headed the right direction! By the way, where did you get that fairing?! Definitely want one!

    Thanks for watching! I got the fairing from Memphis Shades. I really like it. If you have a 1300, make sure that you get the Fork Deflectors also.

    @@wonkster1970 yes 1300 Tourer in two tone silver. Lost a cylinder and figure it’s plugs, so instead of ripping a bunch of unnecessary stuff apart I went straight to Google or KZread to save time. Watched your video and noticed fairing right away! Looks awesome and video is spot on! Couldn’t find a lot of aftermarket parts for quite awhile for that model.

    Did you notice a performance change from old to new plugs?

    I used the spark plug socket that was in the motorcycle tool kit. I'll see if it has a size on it.
