Default Where the heck is my spark plug(s)?

Can somebody tell me specifically where my spark plug(s) are and how to get to them. I have an 05 sportsman 600 and I wanted to change the spark plugs. Thanks in advance!!

Pull your right and left side panels off,right side plug easily to get to,but left plug up under clutch air tube. SMALL hands an asset,but you can get it out. I use a long pair of needle nose pliers to first twist and turn plug wire boot and then pull boot up.If you just pull up on boot with pliers ,dirt and water that has settled can cause you to damage boot. I have a small 5/8" plug socket with a 1/2" socket head that I use. Or You can use a regular plug tool with a small extension and ratchet. IF never have change before,replace champion plugs with NGK BKR7ES.

OK, I found em. How much do I twist the boot, 1/4 turn? I dont want to damage it, I have a tendancy to do that.
