Hi All,
My RD07 is supplied with a small wire ladder, basically square in shape.
This supports the rear of the fuel tank when fighting to get at the rear
plugs. I agree that it is necessary to remove the LH side panel but I find
that all the plugs can be removed without removing the tank. A word of
warning though: I use a straight plug spanner to refit the plugs,
especially the front left one. I find that the flexible Honda plug spanner
makes it very difficult to feed the plug square to the thread. A previous
owner had almost stripped the threads on the front cylinder plug holes. I
had to have two 'Timesets' screwed into the front cylinder to replace the
threads. Very expensive, but the plugs could have blown out of the head!
