i have 3000 miles on it and i think its time to change the plug.

is it a pain to change it?
looks like i have to take some plastic off

 

I just changed mine 2 or 3 weeks ago you have to take the black plastic that covers the lower part of the gas tank. Once you get the plastic off you'll need small hands because some guy decided to put the plug in behind the radiator hose LOL. Its not that bad if you don't use the tools that came with the bike I used a ratchet with extension and a swivel attachment.
