Periodic Maintenance

Spark Plug
The spark plug is one of the most important parts of the
engine and it is easy to inspect.
The condition and color of your spark plug can provide
important clues about the running condition of your
engine. The ideal electrode color of a properly running
vehicle is light brown. If the spark plug is white or black
and wet, there may be a problem with your vehicle that
needs to be resolved. Ask your Genuine Scooter
Company dealer for assistance.
Standard spark plug: NGK CR6HSA
- Inspect the spark plug electrode. Replace if you see
damage or extreme wear to the electrode.
Brake Check
Actuate each brake for inspection. Observe the
grooves in the pads. If the groove is gone or nearly
gone, your brake pads need to be replaced.
1. Visually determine if the
brake pads are worn to the
bottom of the groove or
measure the pad thickness.
If pad thickness is less than
2mm, replace the brake pads.
- Clean the surface of the spark plug gently to avoid
damage.
- Measure spark plug gap.
Spark plug gap : 0.7- 0.8mm
- Reinstall spark plug and torque.
Torque: 11.7 N-m (8 ft-lb)
2. Visually inspect the brake
rotor for scratches, warping,
hot-spots, or foreign material.
Any significant damage can
indicate there is a problem with
your brake system. Have your
vehicle inspected immediately
by an authorized Genuine
Scooter Company dealer if any
damage is observed.
