This is something people do after they have had a bad experience with
stripping out spark plug threads (in aluminium heads).
I have not heard of this happening in motorcycle heads though.
I'm not sure you need it. But putting them in dry is probably the opposite.

I'm pretty sure my Honda car uses an 18mm plug so you can get a proper plug
socket in that size, one with the rubber ring to hold it in the socket for
removal/installation.

A rounded bolt on your rear axle would be easier to deal with than a
rounded spark plug.

True as a rule, I'm sure, but not universally so. I've been using a 15/16
on my back axle for years for tire changes and chain adjustments with no
adverse effects.

Rounded. Point being I don't mix my metrics and standards, that's usually
just a recipe for failure.

I just went to check, but don't have an easily accessible 18mm wrench. 19mm or
3/4" may work, but slightly big. So 18mm is probably right. Honda spark lug
wrench from kit is a sure bet!

If you're talking about NGK DPR8EA-9 plugs or equivalent that's 18mm, I
believe.

Must be an odd ball design. The plug for our 450s is pretty common
among import bikes. And Joey it's really frightening you have that
Winblows 95 installation code memorized. I just write mine on the CDs

On units with points yes, I wouldn't chance it with the CDI ignition
system. If you were stuck in the middle of nowhere with no other
options you might get away with it but I would find the right plugs.
I know both autozone and advance carry the correct plugs for my 450
but I can't remember the de
No, just turn the fuel shutoff valve to OFF and it should be ok. Try not to
turn it upside down however as the fueldoor on top isn't air, or gas, tight.

No problem for the oil in the cylinders. Once, as a student, I had an old
Citroen 2CV (mythic car with a 625 cm3 engine). I worked with a girl and
took her home in the car. I ran out of gas. Yes, really, don't smile...
I said "dont worry, I have a spare gas can in the trunk", and took the 2 l

I did get an extension but not sure whether it will be long enough.
Also, any opinions on the wisdom of pouring a tablespoon of engine oil
in the cylinders?

I just use a normal 18 mm scocket, but to remove plugs you might want to remove
