   right just a couple of questions to kick of with can you change the spark plugs on a gen 2 without removing the air box. haven't got the bike yet but its well over due a service its done 13500 miles but only done 4000 miles in the last 6yrs that was when it had the last stamp in the book. thats not to say it hasn't been serviced there's just no record of it. so im,getting all the oil and filters ready forgot to say its a 09. also will soft panniers fit without touching the cans thanks

	In a word no it's very tight on the front cylinder. It's very easy to remove just take a couple of pictures so you remember where all the back hoses etc go. Can't comment on the panniers sorry
	I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left

	As plug change some dirt can get around the base of plug , I bought a tin of compressed air ( Poundland) as I haven’t a compressor and I found the plug spanner in the tool kit worked well???? Never used panniers just use Ventura rack and roll bags as I never take a passenger.
