Much easier with the floorboard off. Which means the surrounding panels come off first, then the floorboard. Probably less work to unbolt the motor at the end of the day.
The canister is a vapor canister, for the emissions recovery system. Usually the culprit of "leaking gas" after someone overfills their tank.

The spark plug is really easy to swap out from underneath without removing anything once you get the hang of it - I've been pulling mine out almost every day lately (aside from right now, being stuck waiting on parts).
The tool will slide in easy, you just have to get the angle right to lock it onto the plug (slide it over sideways then match it up to the bolt) - the angle is not perfectly horizontal or what you (or I, at least) think makes sense, it's a bit off. Once you loosen the plug a couple half turns with the tool you should be able to do it the rest of the way with just your fingers. Helps to hold the dangling cable off to the side with your other hand.
It's also significantly easier to remove the plug when it's cool, I've found.

use the stock tool-its short enough
also put bike on kickstandnot the centerstand and access spark plug from the right side
you have to kinda slide the wrench over the plug at an angle to get it on-but once you get it its easy

Yep, that's the technique I use except I do put it on the centerstand. The trick is sliding the tool over the plug at an angle then straightening out, then turning it just a bit at a time until it's loose enough to finger loosen it the rest of the way.

I kinda do the same thing. But mine didn't come with a tool. I reach up with the socket and get it on the plug, then reach up with my ratchet and get it into place. Loosen just enough to remove the ratchet and finish by hand. Its a small ratchet but its total laziness that has me busting knuckles over just removing any additional parts.trackpete wrote:Yep, that's the technique I use except I do put it on the centerstand.
