On my Zuk I had that shit down to a 15 minute job. I had to do it often...pop the tank and bang...out they come. 2 of them I could get to without removing the tank or anything.

I got valve adjustments on my VTX down to a 1 hour job. Starting at disassembly and finishing at ready to ride took less than 60 min. I've had to do it too many times. Pulling the seat, the tank, air cleaner, etc. Had a tool bag that only had the tools I needed to get the job done, to include the 18" long X 1/2" drive breaker bar for rotating the crank.

My Kawi took well over an hour to change the plugs. It was a bitch getting around the frame and getting those coil packs out. The coil packs are about 4 inces long but the top of the cylinder head is only 3 inches from the frame.

I didn't put enough miles on the gixxer to have to change plugs.
