Default Need To Know What Needs To Come Off To Change Spark Plugs P700

Hello, I know there will be alot of people that say do a search, well I have tried it all and I can not find anything that tells me what needs to be done to change the plugs on my p700. See I know I could go to town and tear it all down and change them with no problem, but I figured I would ask to see what needs to come off and what does not. No sense in removing stuff that does not need to be. So if there is anyone out there that has the know how, please let me know what needs to come off and what can stay in place

Though both plugs are hard to reach, the one on the right side of the bike is a pain in the ****. You must remove the housing for the belt vent to get to it. And then, be very careful that the seals are in place when you reinstall, or water will enter the belt area.

Not sure if it is similar to my 750 or not, but I take the battery and battery box out, and the rear plug is right there.

Did mine out in the mud....had a shop manual with me and that helped a lot....turned out that my Dynatek CDI was what had failed, had me down to one cylinder.

thanks alot for the info so far. See this is the problem. I only am running on one cylinder, my father put gas in it over the weekend and well I went to use it and it only started up on one cylinder, but sometimes it takes the other one a sec to fire anyways when its cold out. But it never did fire, so I think there was water in the gas and it fouled the rear plug or one of them anyways, sounds like the rear. But my father thinks if it was water I would have ad the problem with both cylinders. But I figured the cheapest fix would be the try to replace the plugs first and go from there. Thanks again

If you think there is water in the gas, make sure you drain the carbs before you fire it up again.

MyI old prairie 650 stopped fireing on one cylinder while I was out riding one night , I rode it home that way , after I got home I starter checking wires and found that a small box ( don't remember which side) had 2 wires that plugged in to it and one of them was off , I just plugged it back up and never had another problem , water will normally not foul a plug but anything is possible.Check for that small box , it was up high next to the frame either close to the gear shifter or on the other side around the air box.

the easy way is just to remove the right side cover and then remove the boot to the belt snorkel and its a tight squeeze but you can get to it and remove it.

I got them changed and the wheeler runs great again. What i did was remove the battery and then the plastic around the air box, 2 screws. Then the rear plug was visible. Then with the front plug, I gould see the on the front left side, and I got to that by going under the covers in the wheel well. But I was pretty easy and not as hard as I originally thought it would be. Thanks again for the info you guys gave.
