Checking the 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 mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. In addition,
the condition of the spark plug can re-
veal the condition of the engine.
To remove the spark plug
1. Open the rider seat. (See
page 3-17.)
2. Pull up the storage compartment
mat, and then remove the spark
plug cover by removing the
screws.

3. Install the spark plug with the
spark plug wrench, and then tight-
en it to the specified torque.
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 speci-
fied torque as soon as possible.
4. Install the spark plug cap.
TIP

Make sure the spark plug wire is fas-
tened in the clamp as shown.5. Install the spark plug cover by in-
stalling the screws.
6. Place the storage compartment
mat in the original position.
7. Close the rider seat.

Engine oil and oil filter
element
The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter ele-
ment replaced at the intervals specified
in the periodic maintenance and lubri-
cation chart and when the oil change in-
dicator comes on.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set-
tles, remove the oil filler cap, wipe
the dipstick clean, insert it back
into the oil filler hole (without
screwing it in), and then remove it
again to check the oil level.
TIP

The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.

wise the piston(s) and/or cylin-
der(s) may become excessively
worn.
