There is a tool pouch under the seat...In it there is a tool for removing the spark plugs..

I would recommend that you at least remove the gas tank...It'll make it a little easier to remove and replace the plugs. But, before you remove the plugs...Take an air compressor with a blow gun and blow out the spark plug ports, so no dirt or debris gets into the cylinder. Remove one spark plug wire at a time...Blow the port out...Then remove the plug...Check it and if it's good, re-check the gap and reinstall the plug...Put the wire back on and move to the next plug. Repeat the above...

Make sure you don't cross-thread the plugs when you reinstall them...Make sure the wires are firmly on the plugs...And make sure you put the right wire on the right plug, which shouldn't be a problem if you only remove one at a time.

And also make sure when you reinstall the gas tank that the fuel lines are firmly seated...

Removing and replacing your spark plugs is fairly easy.
