1978 CB750K in fine shape

munkyface
Ok, so i Just picked up a 1978 CB750k that looks to be in remarkable shape. I don't know if that remark is good or bad yet, but I will let you know. I do have a question about this bike that I can't seem to find an answer to. Simple question though.. What the hell is up with the number 2 spark plug. The bike has NGK D8EA plugs. I can remove #1, #3, #4 no problem, but I can't get the wrench to seat on the #2 plug. It seems that the head bolt is in the way. Does this seem right to you guys or am I missing something totally obvious?

  Number 2 should be not different than the others. 2 and 3 are angled slightly to the center as 1 and 4 are angled slightly outward. Make sure someone didn't leave a washer or such on the plug. It helps to use a small mirror and flashlight to take a look. Who knows, maybe somebody put a longer plug in and your socket is not deep enough. I've seen stranger things happen.

If you have the original plug socket that came with the bike the number two plug is just as easy to get at as the rest. if course there is the slight but possible reason you cant get it out as it has been cross threaded. Apart from that being the only cause it should come out as easy as falling off a log. Just check that no foreign objects have fallen between the plug and the cylinder head thats preventing you from getting the plug socket onto it
