Here is a quick tutorial on how to easily change your spark plugs on a Triumph Bonneville SE motorcycle. New Spark Plugs should be fitted every 12,000 miles (or every 2 years) and only costs about $6 (two spark plugs).
The replacement spark plug for the Triumph Bonneville SE 2012 is the NGK DPR8EA-9. You will also need an 18mm thin-walled socket with a 6" extension, and I also recommend some compressed air to blow out the spark plug nook.

I changed my plugs without taking the tank off on my 2012 Triumph America . I used a wobble joint extension on a deep 18MM socket to break the plugs loose. Next remove the socket and extension. Then I used a short piece of windshield washer hose over the end of the plug to thread it out. I reversed the procedure to install the plugs. The job took less than 10 min. I blew the cylinders with an air hose before removing the plugs like the guy in the video did.

I followed this tutorial and it served me very well. Riding with new iridium spark plugs now. Thanks for posting this video and safe riding. BRAP BRAP.

Can I ask what the rod going into the top of the Head nut is next to the Spark plug? Almost looks like a direct injection set up. I don't have that.

It's better to slacken the plugs about one turn before blasting away the debris, as this will dislodge any particles which were stuck where the plug meets the seat. BTW, it takes about 2 minutes to change both plugs on my Bonneville, without removing anything else - it's a 1978 T140.

Does the gas tank need to be drained first? If not, will it leak after disconnecting?

@ChrisIronhardt 3 года назад

Good question - no, the fuel line has an auto-close mechanism to prevent fuel leaking out. That being said, you will likely have a splash of fuel come out in the process - so good to have a rag nearby.

I have found jobs that require you to remove the tank much easier when it’s near-empty. A heavy tank is harder to safely handle.

Will this be the same set up as my 2013 triumph America. Thanks

The Haynes repair book states removing the tank only gives you easier access to change the plugs.

1. You don't have to remove the tank to change the plugs. 2. You have to correctly gap every new plug as plugs are universal parts for a myriad of vehicles and all do not necessarily spec the same gap. 3. You'd be better off ditching the air injection rather than wasting money on fancy iridium plugs, the bonneville runs terribly lean with the air injection.
