What is the spark plug wrench?

[flamingmenudo]

I am trying to check my spark plug for deposits and to clean it off if necessary. What is the spark plug wrench that the Scarabeo manual is referring to? Is it that brassy tool under the seat?

yep. Stick it over the spark plug and use the screwdriver to twist it out.

Just for your reference, the ditech sparkplugs are 16mm. I use a 16mm deep impact socket connected to a long handled torque wrench for spark plugs, makes sure I can get the right torque easily as well. If you find you are removing your spark plug regularly, you can get a basic set of metric 'deep' sockets and a basic torque wrench for pretty cheap, and it makes the process much easier than the goofy little wrench that aprilia provides. I can't tell you how many times I've busted my knuckles on something up in there trying to get the plug out with the aprilia tool before I got a set of actual sockets and wrenches.

Peace,
