Hi lads went to change my spark plugs on my 2003 1150 gs bottom plugs came out ok mane plugs will not move . do I warm the bike up first or put a lump hammer to it which is the best way .

Give them a squirt of plusgas every day for a few days and they'll come out.

+1 for the Plusgas approach, but make sure you find some Plusgas - local motor factor or metalwork supplies outlet is your best bet. You need a dedicated penetrating fluid and despite what is says on the tin, WD40 is not as good. As Ian says, do it over a few days to give it time to work and go easy. If need be, tip the bike on its side so the Plusgas pools around the bottom of the plug hole and do them one at a time. Its still going to work out quicker and cheaper than new heads! Lump hammers are the absolute last resort and should be thrown in the same bin as adjustable spanners.
