7.1 Spark plug inspection
The spark plug is an important engine component which should be
checked periodically.
1. Remove the cover (1) and the spark plug cap (2). Insert the tool
through the hole from the outside of the cover.
2. Insert the handlebar (3) into the tool (4) and turn it counterclockwise
to remove the spark plug.
3. Check for discoloration and remove the carbon. The porcelain
insulator around the center electrode of spark plug should be a
medium-to-light tan color.
4. Check the spark plug type and gap.
TIP: The spark plug gap should be measured with a wire thickness
5. Install the spark plug.
Spark Plug Torque: 28 N*m (1.25 kgf*m, 9 lbf*ft)
TIP: If a torque wrench is not available when installing a spark plug,
soon as possible.
6. Reinstall the spark plug cap and spark plug cover.

The spark plug is important engine components, which should be checked
periodically.
a
Standard Spark Plug: F6RTC
Spark Plug Gap: 0.7-0.8mm
TIP: The spark plug gap should be measured with a wire thickness gauge
and, If necessary, adjusted to specification.
Spark Plug Torque: 28 N.m
5. Install the spark plug.
TIP: If a torque wrench is not available when installing a spark plug, a good
estimate of the correct torque is 1/4-1/2 turn past finger tight. However, the
spark plug should be tightened to the specified torque as soon as possible.
6. Install the spark plug cap and spark plug cover.
