NOTICE
Never use a spark plug with an improper heat range.
Severe engine damage could result.
1. Clean any dirt from around the spark plug base.
2. Disconnect the spark plug cap (1) and remove the
spark plug with the spark plug wrench and
handlebar.
3. Visually inspect the spark plug electrodes for wear.
The center electrode should have square edges and
the side electrode should not be eroded.
Discard the spark plug if there is apparent wear or if
the insulator is cracked or chipped.
4. Check the spark plug gap (2) using a wire-type
feeler gauge. If adjustment is necessary, bend the
side electrode (3) carefully.
The gap should be:
0.8 – 0.9 mm (0.03 – 0.04 in)
(3)
(2)
(2) Spark plug gap
(3) Side electrode
5. Make sure the plug washer is in good condition.
6. With the plug washer attached, thread the spark
plug in by hand to prevent cross-threading.
7. Tighten a new spark plug 1/2 turn with a spark plug
wrench to compress the washer. If you are reusing a
plug, it should only take 1/8 – 1/4 turn after the plug
seats.
NOTICE
The spark plug must be securely tightened. An
improperly tightened plug can become very hot and
possibly damage the engine.
8. Reinstall the spark plug cap.
