Spark plug inspection
The spark plug is an important engine
component and is easy to inspect. The con-
dition of the spark plug can indicate the
condition of the engine. The ideal color on
the white insulator around the center elec-
trode is a medium-to-light tan color for a
motorcycle that is being ridden normally.
Do not attempt to diagnose any problems
yourself. Instead, take the motorcycle to a
Yamaha dealer. You should periodically re-
move and inspect the spark plug because
heat and deposits will cause the spark plug
to slowly break down and erode. If elec-
trode erosion becomes excessive, or if car-
bon and other deposits are excessive, you
should replace the spark plug with the
specified plug.
