    Pull the spark plug cap from the spark plug. Use the box spanner (in tool kit) to open the plug. Replace with new one and refit the spark plug cap.

    You are ready to go.

    Cheerz!!

        The tool required to remove / re-install the sparkplug should be there inside your bike's toolbag ( that came OE with the bike ) . Before removal clean around the plug with old toothbrush so no dirt remains to fall into the hole when it's open . After removal clean the hole with a kerosene soaked rag . Put a drop of engine oil on a new plug's threads and thread it in slowly by hand , taking care it does not bind or cross-threads . After tightening as much as you can by hand , tighten with wrench - half a turn with new plug ( or 1/8-1/4 turn with old or previously-used plug ) . Illustration should be there in your bike's owner's manual . That's it

          The spark plug talk reminds me I haven't changed mine for about 15k kms now Last time I went for the stock one. Any other suggestions/recommendations ?

            You can try the ngk g-power equivalent for your standard ngk . It is not much more in cost and needs no cleaning / re-gapping ever at all . Fires very smoothly too .

              Can the indicators be glued and used again? My rear right side is about to go kaput and I am not able to remove it. Can somebody tell me how to remove it.

                  The rear indicator can be removed. I would suggest you to buy front indicators and install them in the rear. As the front indicators can bend a lot since they have provided soft rubber which can take the impact whereas the rear indicators have solid rubber which is not that bendable. I have done the same thing when my rear indicators were damaged. The wires to the front indicators are small in length. I replace the old rear indicator's wires with the new front indicators. This set up holds good even after many hits received.

                  Cheers

                    Great. Is it direct fit to the rear slots or some mods have to be done?

                      The fitment is direct. Like I said the wires are short you need to replace them with the old indicator's wires.

                        Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

                        Just a day after being rear-ended by a drunk car driver, the rear rim is bent a sharp n deep pothole being the reason. To top it of, the tyre started to misalign and is now all messed up on the rim (maybe due to air leak from the bent), all this happened today at 5:30 in the morning today.

                        Not a good time for my bike. I was thinking of claiming insurance on the rim and also the rear assembly.
                        Ride safe and have fun.

                          [MENTION=47870]devils_friend[/MENTION].. I had also installed front indicators when the rear indicators broke off. Direct fit. I had installed R15's clear indicators.

                            Bent rims can be claimed under insurance?

                              Yes. I had asked about this during servicing few months back and they said that the insurance can be claimed. Well its accidental damage, isn't it.

                                Wow!! This is news to me. Although, not sure about this.

                                If you can claim insurance, IMO, try getting your rims changed in the same. Do let us know what was the outcome and what hassles you had to face.
