FNG needs help! Surprise.. Surprise

2004 Fe550e first non Japanese bike..I hate my modded xr600r. Too hard to start and it hurts me half the time. Thought I could handle an exotic.
Not so sure now. I cant even figure out how to get spark plug out to check it, and get to TDC for a valve adjustment
Didnt realize till today im not supposed to use the E start cold but it took a bunch of cranks to get it to fire after I cleaned the carb(it was all jammed up from the PO
I replaced the water pump seal and the kick starter is not functional/ I searched the forums and found that I need to reset the spring..unfortunately I didnt understand the explanation(the exploded view in manual didnt help either). If someone has a picture of this spring and its location and what the trick is to get the dadgum sparkplug out, I would be in your debt!

Ok thx Husabutt..found that facebook video...perfect!...now do I have to take the valve cover off to get the plug out?..my 14mm thin wall long socket wont fit in there

quick replies, thank you!....was able to find an old Kawasaki tool kit w/sparkplug socket that works. Thanks for all y'alls help..this is a great site!...maybe I can handle an exotic after all

Taffy.. Be nice! Thx to you for putting up your videos..that clutch side case cover one, was a big help. When i get used to working on this thing you wont have such an easy time picking on me...thx again....ever seen anything so pathetic as a bike with the kick starter on the wrong side?(kinda like driving on the wrong side...kidding) I'm the poster boy of "pathetic" trying to kick this thing!
