    Picture of broken plug removed from head.

    The 1984 Ninja 900 was getting fresh plugs this past April.
    #1 seemed to not need too much "omph" to remove and this is what I ended up with.
    I managed to remove the threads with the easy out tool the next day.
    I was a bit shocked at how easy it came out and was expecting a real cuss session.

    You could get that out easily, but it took you since April to post the pictures?

    reminds me of a plug failure I had in VW hippie van many years ago, driving down road it sounded like the muffler fell off, ceramic portion of plug & electrode blew right out of the plug but remained attached to the spark plug wire, the threads & hex were stillin the cylinder, cause the hex was still attached to the threads, it was easy to remove with a spark plug wrench
