7. Inspect oil leakage. If oil leakage is found, check
for the reason.
Spark plug inspection
The spark plug is an important engine component
and is easy to check. The condition of the spark
plug can indicate the condition of the engine.
For example, a very white center electrode porce-
lain color could indicate an intake air leak or car-
buretion problem for that cylinder. Do not attempt
to diagnose such problems yourself.
Instead, take the quad to your dealer. You should
regularly remove and inspect the spark plug be-
cause heat and deposits will cause the spark plug
to slowly break down and erode. If electrode erosion
becomes excessive, you should replace the spark
plug with one of the proper type.
Before installing the spark plug, measure the elec-
trode gap with a feeler gauge and adjust to spe-
cification.
When equipping the spark plug, always clean the
gasket surface and use a new gasket. Wipe off any
grime from the threads and tighten to the specified
torque.
