its well nippy to change the plugs on a twin spark.

off the top of my head:
front cylinder - one at the back of the radiator and one on the right hand side
rear cylinder - under the tank and one to the right under the seat where the frame meets the rear subframe.

dont pry the radiator up using a stick, its best just to drop the radiator down to the front mudguard (put a rag on the mudguard) it gives better access and no scraping of knuckles.

Second plug on the front is to the right, on the back it's to the left. They are the easiest ones to get to although the rear one needs long fingers.

Thanks guys

I've done the one behind the radiator. The one on the right hand side of engine, the one under the tank at the top

But can't find the one thats meant to be under the seat to the left?
