I don't have the bike near me, but I believe there are 2 5mm bolts at the top(one on the left and one on the right), and one on the bottom at the center. When I did my plugs I completely removed the radiator, so I also undid the hoses.
yeah once i got all of those off it didnt seem like it gave enough clearance to get to the plugs without removing the hoses. i don't want to do that.
I have not changed mine yet so I cant tell you exactly how to move the radiator, but why do you need to change them?
The plugs should be good for 25 to 30K.
Most manufacturers tell you to change them at blah blah blah because they know you cant and will take it to the dealer and pay them to do it.r
Overchange your oil, underchange the plugs.
Just be sure to apply a thin coat of "anti-seize" paste onto the threads of the new plugs, always do this when fastening two different alloys, otherwise electrolesise will fuse them together.......(makes for an expensive removal)

It is possible to do this job without removing your radiator completely.

There are 4 screws:
1 Above the radiator on the right side (Left side is just a hanger.)
1 Below the radiator
2 One on each side that hold tabs onto the frame.
Pull to one side to remove from hanger then drop down.
Just that easy. Well if you have the service manual its that easy. It tells you how to do what you are asking. Plus all the torque specs for putting it back together.

i'm thinking if i do it i need to get a low torque click type wrench instead of my metered type. that looks like a very tight squeeze.
