You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

Haha I'm just curious of the type you guys use. Maybe you guys had a bad experience with certain types of plugs or oil... in my truck I put some plugs in and it caused the engine to misfire after a while of use... I forgot the name of those dam plugs but I remember they where 9 bucks a pop

Don't skimp on the spark plugs. The the standard iridium plugs work best. I use ngk cr9eix.
Don't use any energy conserving oil . I use shell rotella 5/40 full synthetic with a little lucas full synthetic additive.
With over 108, 000 miles on my 06 I guess im doing something right.

I use Rock Oil Synthesis XRP (JASO MA/MA2 API SL SAE 5W30) in my bike from the first oil change.
I know some folk use zero weight oil and make good power with reliability but I was at seminar last week given by one of Honda Europe's top engineers and I asked him about it because I was considering it. He said they'd had a couple of engine failures with zero weight and said to use the regular Castrol, Mobil etc synthetics. We were talking about race engines of course.
Stock plugs.
