Quote3/8 to 1/2 adapter, and back to a 1/2 to 3/8 adapter and a ratchet you can get it out pretty easily,

Nice tip. The first time I removed the front plug I had every extension out trying to find the right combo to clear the valve cover but not hit the fan.

I suppose if you wanted to do it the old fashioned way the one from the tool kit is (hopefully) the right height. Maybe I should try mine before I have to roadside one day.

I put it on the battery tender last night,  and it hasn fully charged yet.  I'm going to test the battery first.  It's probably also the easiest thing to test

The tool kit one does fit, I've found it almost as quick using this as finding the right length ratchet extension. On my list is to make an extension specially for the job. Will be a while before that gets done though, bikes all in storage, moved towns and bought a house so a little busy fixing that at the moment ???

I use the one in the tool kit, insert a 17mm headed bolt with (2) jambnuts into the top, lower the rig into her plug hole, and

then turn the rig with one o these....
