Which size of a wrench do I need in order to release the spark plug?

[Milk-Inc]

Hi everyone,

I have GasGas 250 EC 2T 2013
How can I release the spark plug from the bike?
I cannot find the appropriate tool for this.

Any help will be appreciated!

The drawn steel wrench that was included in the tool bag is the correct piece, but I think that Motion Pro and perhaps others make one that will clear the water inlet. IIRC there was a thread on this subject here earlier - welcome aboard and have a look around.

Sparkplugs traditionally have metric threads and inch size flats. You need a 13/16" socket (nominal size) = .8125" = 20.66 mm
Measuring a BR8EG spark plug shows .805" actual = 20.45 mm
A standard spark plug socket (Husky, Snap On etc.) has a shallow hex and clears the water outlet. There may be some variation between brands of sockets.
As stated the stock sheet metal wrench fits OK.

So this tool will do the work (?):

twowheels - I didn't got any tool bag with the bike (should I claim it from the dealer? I got that bike 3 weeks ago)

I think you want this one from Motion Pro:

That tool is a perfect fit up and around the plug with everything around. Desert tank, stock tank, no problem. Best piece of kit in my trail bag. I have not had to use it in anger on the trail, but I know that it works well enough to not have to worry about it. Worth every penny.

I have one of these and it works great
I painted it red and drilled a hole for zip tie to keep it from getting lost
Cheap and works

I use the same wrench. Has never let me down. I expected to bend and/or break it, a long time ago.

The MSR one won't clear the water outlet on an S3 head. Shouldn't be any issues on a stocker though.

I was going to post that. Works great on 2010 250. I have the one from the tool kit too, but I already had the MSR wrench so I tried it.
