Vmax cylinder drain plug 90338-11152-00

Hi, I've got a leaking rubber plug on my right hand rear cylinder water jacket. Got a good deal on a replacement set from Motorcycle mart Ltd. The question is do I need a special removal / fitting tool? It appears to have an internal thread. What's the best method of removal / fitting it? thanks,

Oh, also the motor sounds a little lumpy, slight rumble on tick over around the clutch area, is this normal? Sorry, new to vmax ownership

according to the manual a spark plug is the tool to get the rubber plug out, screw the top thread in to it

Spark plug worked for me a couple of days ago.

What a brilliant idea, makes sense when you look at the thread size, thanks

Guys, by the way, what are these rubber plugs for? Do they have any function besides leaking? Thanks!

It's just a way to drain the coolant from the block. The drain bolt under the water pump doesn't get it all.
