SPARK PLUG
Select the THUNDER brand 1E6 or TORCH brand
T1136 spark plug.
After the first 1000km and afterwards every
3000km riding, remove the carbon deposits from the
spark plug with a small metal wire brush or a spark
plug cleaner. Readjust the electrode gap of spark plug
with a gap thickness gauge to make it between 0.6 to
0.7 mm. The spark plug should be replaced after every
6000km riding.
NOTE
Never operate the engine without the element
in position.
Operating the engine without the air cleaner
element will increase engine wear. The life of
the engine depends largely on this single
component.
CAUTION:
The standard spark plug for this motorcycle
has been carefully selected to meet the most
operation ranges. If the spark plug color differs
from a standard one, you should better consult
your SKYTEAM dealer before selecting an
alternating plug on a beat range. The selection
of an improper spark plug can lead to severe
engine damage and driving difficult.
CAUTION:

threads of the cylinder head will be damaged.Do
not allow contaminations to enter the engine
through the spark plug hole when the plug is
removed.
