2021 RX4, Whidbey Island WA USA
Hi guys, I'm out near Seattle and have a yellow 2021 RX4
I sold my Buell XB12XT, my RX4 replaced it. I must say, I like the RX4 more than the Buell. Every time I ride her, I am amazed that a 450 is so much fun. Have about 260 miles on it, and so far she is proving to be a versatile machine. I'm 62, and have been riding at night in 40-45 degree temps and having a ball. Have even ridden in the rain and had fun. Only mod so far is an NGK plug that CSC sells, and I did buy the Tourfella luggage during the sale last week, but have yet to install it.

that's a good question for sure.... I am assuming with the supplied spark plug wrench !
in the tool kit....I think there's one in there ! I haven't replaced my sparkplug yet as it seams to be working fine so no need ! ... I've only got 163 miles on mine so far ! ... Bob......

The spark plug is tiny, the smallest I have ever seen in a real engine. You need a thin wall socket. None of my normal sockets fit. The tool in the tool kit works.
Just measured my spare plug...12.82mm...so 13mm socket The plug you want is NGK ER9EHIX Peter Y. |
