WARNING
Ensure that the replacement spark plug is the
suitable length and thread.
A short thread will cause carbon to build up on the
thread in the head. When you fit a proper spark plug
at a later time, the engine will damage.
Use recommended spark plugs only. A spark plug of
the wrong grade may shorten engine life and cause
loss of performance.
Use a wire feeler gauge (see diagram) to check air
gap between electrodes. Any other tool will damage
the platinum coating of the electrodes.
&
Check the electrode gap with a wire feeler gauge.
Electrode gap should be 0.6
√
0.7 mm. If it needs
adjusting, bend the earth electrode carefully.
&
Make sure the washer is in good condition. Fit the
washer and screw the spark plug finger-tight to avoid
damaging the thread.
&
Tighten using the supplied tool. Screw in each spark
plug by one half turn to compress the washer.
Torque wrench setting for spark plugs: 20 Nm
(2.0 kgm).
WARNING
It is essential to tighten the spark plugs properly. A
loose spark plug will cause engine overheating and
result in severe damage.
NOTE
When reassembling, take care to route the
leads of the rear cylinder spark plugs inboard of oil
breather hose.
&
Refit the spark plug cap (1) securely onto the spark
plug (2), so that it will not work itself loose when
exposed to engine vibration.
CAUTION
Ensure the spark plug cap (1) is properly in place on
the spark plug (2).
&
Refit the fuel tank.
