Change spark plugs on Harley Davidson Sportster XL 1200S

Harley Davidson Sportster XL 1200S has four spark plugs, one per cylinder, with two larger coils than the regular Sportster. Disconnect the coil cables and unscrew the spark plugs with the 5/8 socket wrench. If these are tending to black it means that your carburation is a little too fat, so adjust it. Replace one spark plug at a time (we recommend the RA8HC spark plugs). Check with the feeler gauge that the distance between the mass and the electrode is approximately 1 mm (the tolerance is 0.05 mm). If this distance is not correct, increase it with any cutting tool. Screw the new spark plugs into place.
