Spark Plug Wrench Recommendations?

Post by SpudRider »

I did not get the Kawasaki, spark plug wrench when I acquired my 98 KDX220. :sad: Originally, I planned to buy a Motion Pro Ratchet Spark Plug Wrench. However, after examining the bike, I noticed only a small space exists between the back of the spark plug, and the engine block. :roll: Therefore, I fear the ratchet spark plug wrench might not fit in the small space provided. Perhaps I should buy a thin-walled, MSR plug wrench, instead? I can see this thin-walled, spark plug wrench will definitely fit in the tight space between the spark plug and engine block.

In contrast, the Motion Pro Ratchet Spark Plug Wrench is much larger in diameter, and might not fit in the small space available.

Can anyone confirm whether or not the ratchet spark plug wrench will work for my KDX220?

if the FRP riders wrench is still available you may want to consider that one aswell

there is a little write up on it in the "tools" section of the forum but the pictures seem to have gone dead

Thank you. :grin: Besides the spark plug wrench, I plan to get a Tusk Racer Axle Wrench. Since I have 1995, KX500 forks on my bike, I plan to get the 22/27mm version, instead of the 17/27mm version. :wink:

Here's a photograph of the FRP Riders Wrenches from the FRP website.

Since the Tusk Racer Axle Wrench also includes a spark plug wrench, I don't need to buy both wrenches. However, I think the Tusk Spark Plug Wrench might be easier to use, and it doesn't cost much, so I am going to purchase both wrenches. :wink:

I have one similar to the tusk, only wish the handle was a little longer. Looks like the tusk one is.
This is my rifle, this is my gun, the YZ to go fast, the KDX is for fun!
