Whip the tank and air box off and voila! All the access you need. Check the manual if your still stuck :smt002

buy 1-2m of 7mm HT lead.

pull the HT lead off the coil, and 'unscrew' it from the cap.

repeat in reverse.

All you need to do is screw the ht lead onto the thread.

if you are re-using the old HT lead, you will need to trim ~5mm of the old lead off in order to give you a "fresh" bit of lead to use to screw into the spark plug cap.
