After looking around the bike to get used to working on it I looked at the job of changing the plugs, are they as much of a t**t to change as they look.
To say it is a compact set up is an understatement.
Plugs

Front ones are the biggest bother.
Raise tank
Remove airbox lid
Remove airbox base
somehow blow out any grit that has accumulated in the spark plug wells (not easy without an air line - tbh the hardest bit of the whole procedure)
remove plugs) One of them requires a plug spanner with a knuckle in it - or the use of the plug spanner in the Aprilia tool kit that you can turn with an open-ender.
Change plugs, reassemble.
