Neither of these is easy to do on a TTR600.
There is no battery (kick/bump start only and I never managed to do the latter with mine if only because of the high seat). Hence, the spark is directly generated from the kick - a weak kick gives a weak spark.
Yep, judging the spark while thrusting on the kick start is not easy.
A darkened room is helpful (for seeing the spark or lying down for a while after all that kicker effort).
The spark plug is very inaccessible; it is "buried" inside the horseshoe shape of the rocker cover and it needs a specialist spark plug spanner to shift it.
Maybe I had to remove the fuel tank; memory fades!
Also, the TTR600 doesn't have a cush drive; I think this changed with the TT600RE model "for softies" which introduced the electric button to the handle bars.
