Just did mine the other day. You're going to have to take off the side fairings and the enginge mount thats under the frame in order to get the other two out. That means the mirror, upper, mid, and lower fairing along with the engine mount, and all other little connectors that's going to be in the way. Its a long drawn out process..but it feels so good when you ride knowing you did it..

    O sorry..no special tool. I don't have the tool kit for my bike. I just used a regular spark plug socket w/extentions to get it done..

The tool kit with the bike should be good enough,no need to lower the engine, to make things easier when you get them undone find a piece of rubber hose that fits over the sparkplug and use it to pull the plugs out and install them ...then tighten them with the plug tool.

I have a Kawasaki Ninja ZX9R P reg. I am trying to change the spark plugs. Is there a special plug socket for this job ??? Thanks to @

Yes, there are specific sockets for spark plugs, usually a deep socket with a rubber insert to stop the plug dropping out. For the ZX bikes you'll need a 'thin walled' type. eBay does them as a set for a sensible price.

Whats the firing order for a 1990 Kawasaki 600 zx ninja.

The ZX6, as with most four-cylinder motorcycle engines, is mounted transversely in the frame. When sitting on the bike, the cylinders are numbered 1-2-3-4 left to right.

Firing Order: the firing order is 1-2-4-3. There is no distributor for the engine, as ignition is controlled electronically.

Extra Ignition Information: there are only two ignition coils for this engine. Each coil has two spark plug wires. One coil fires cylinders 1 and 4. The other fires cylinders 2 and 3

WHAT IS THE SPARK PLUG ORDER FOR A KAWASAKI NINJA 900 1985

Left coil feeds 1 and 4...right coil feeds 2 and 3...as long as you stick to this it doesn't matter which lead goes to which plug. Left coil will have one short lead and one long...short =1...long = 4. Right coil leads will be about even in length...doesn't matter which goes to 2 or 3.
It's a wasted spark system so plugs 1 and 4 fire together...2 and 3 fire together...only 1 cylinder in each pair will be compressed and ready to fire when the spark happens, the other will be empty and coming on to it's inlet stroke...

Check/Replace spark plugs

You bike might of came with the tools under the seat . Thats all you should need . You might need to remove the fairings and/or gas tank . If you have under 100,000 miles . You shouldnt need new plugs . It dont hurt to check .
