CAUTION

pages.

WARNING
Maintenance, replacement, or repair
of the emission control devices and
systems may be performed by any
repair shop or individual that is cer-
tied and must follow the local law
regulations.
If you are not familiar with mainte-
nance work, have a dealer do it for
you.
SPARK PLUG
The spark plug is an important engine
component, which is easy to check.
Since heat and deposits will cause any
spark plug to slowly erode, the spark
plug should be removed and checked
in accordance with the periodic main-
tenance and lubrication chart. In additi-
on, the condition of the spark plug can
reveal the condition of the engine.
The spark plug is on the right, front side
of the vehicle.
Check the spark plug
1. Remove the spark plug cap
2. Remove the spark plug as shown,
with a spark plug wrench.

3. Check that the porcelain insulator
(3) around the center electrode of
the spark plug is a medium-to-light
tan (the ideal color when the vehicle
is ridden normally).

CAUTION
If the spark plug shows a distinctly dif-
ferent color, the engine could be opera-
ting improperly. Do not attempt to diag-
nose such problems yourself. Instead,
have a dealer check the vehicle.
4. Check the spark plug for electrode
erosion and excessive carbon or
other deposits, and replace it if ne-
cessary.
