Just a word of advice guys, If you haven't pulled your plugs yet, do it and give them a good coat of anti-seize. The plugs take a 14 mm socket. Cheap insurance
I am a bit surprised about this last statement. I have never used anti-seize in any engine / spark-plug application. Not in cars, not in a 2-stroke scooter, not in my bikes. This never caused problems if torques are respected. On the other hand I have seen at least one case where a copper -based anti-size caused significant problems because it wasn't able to handle the temperature (not out of spec so). Neither have I seen service manuals calling for it, and as expected our CB handbook doesn't call for it either.
Any thoughts by somebody with a lot of experience with engines ?
