Found this while doing a Roper guided valve adjustment. Email has been sent to the guys that replaced my rocker cover after the bikes lay down..[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

It's not a bad idea to reinforce the corner there, some shops do it as a matter of course. As long as it isn't arcing I wouldn't sweat it.

I wouldn't like to see that on my bike, just because I don't trust dealers except mine...
If they were to do that, they'd tell me so I don't worry next time I service my bike since they know I'm the one doing all the service.
Then again, I do have a pretty good relationship with them so that helps, even though they're over 500 miles away from me. lol

Anyway, let us know what you find out...

Long nose pliers are a recipe for disaster!

They are not the easiest things to get out!, i pulled the cable out of the holder the first time i attempted it, unless Mr Roper has a trick to get them out?

Think some of the guys on here use cable ties wrapped around then into pliers to pull. Worked for me?

This was not what I was thinking of but does mention the cable tie as well as another method :

Or you can go in from the front with a long screwdriver inserted just above the header flange and lever them off.

I use the Roper Method. Flat blade screwdriver under the elbow and fingers in the end of the shroud.

I've had my plugs in and out more often than a rabbit's cock at a burrow orgy and I've had no issues. Stock leads.

That was one thing I got out of the dealer that did my bike, they tend to swap over to NGK leads as part of a service now...

I used a big wide tie wrap like the cops use when they run out of cuffs...
I never close the loop, just slide that sucker under the cap and pull both ends carefully.
Works like a charm for me. Smile
Keep it under the seat for convenience...

To remove the plug, I'm usually also removing the valve cover. I just unbolt the valve cover, and carefully/gently pull it up. Pulls the spark plug cap right off.

When I replaced the stock boots on the Stelvio with NGK, I used the tricks you gents suggested (because I wasn't removing the valve cover) and they worked great too.
