I'm curious as to whether you have to remove the gas tank to change the spark plugs on these bikes- the shop manual is of no help.

No. Take the screws out of the rear of the tank and prop it up with a block of wood. I have 16,500 and just checked my valves. You don't have to change those plugs at 8k... that's silly.

I agree. Look at the plugs at 25-30k.
