spark plug spanner

Post by alec »

Hi all,
will this plug spanner work on the storm ? my bike didn't have a tool kit so i'm gradually getting one together, have looked through the forum and found it needs to be 12mm and this one is a decent price

cheers alec

I cant tell you off the top of my head, but I know its not a normal size, I have a selection of 5 spark plug spanners from cars etc, and none of them fitted.

but I got my tool kit off the eblag for a few quid, and its worth it for that socket.

call me later if you have no reply and I will dig mine out of the bike.

the size across the flats is 18mm - you can get away with a 18mm deep socket but you may have to turn it down narrower to get it to fit down the plug hole.
with mine i had to take it down about 2mm
the spark plug size is 12mm, so if you're looking in halfwits or ebay you want a 12mm plug spanner
You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.
