Spark plug
After driving the first 1000 km, then every 3000 km, clean the carbon deposits from
the spark plug using a small wire brush or spark plug cleaner. Using a feeler gauge,
adjust the gap between the electrodes, keeping a value between 0.6 and 0.8 mm.
Replace the spark plug every 3000 km.
The carbon deposits having been removed, observe the color of the candle
to see if it is suitable for its use. A wet or very dark standard candle means poor
combustion with an overly rich mixture. A light gray or cotton yellow colored spark
plug indicates good combustion and normal conditions of use. An extremely white
spark plug, on the other hand, reflects poor combustion and overheating of the
engine.
Caution
Do not overtighten the spark plug to avoid damaging the cylinder head threads.
When removing it, prevent dirt from falling into the engine through the spark plug
hole.
The original spark plug fitted to the motorcycle has been carefully selected to suit
various operating conditions. If the color of the candle does not comply with normal
conditions of use, we recommend that you contact your dealer.
As the choice of an unsuitable spark plug (for example from another manufacturer)
is likely to seriously damage the engine, we therefore invite you to contact your dealer
before choosing a product sold under another brand.

Caution
The sight glasses (2) indicate the oil level. If it is too low, never start the
engine. Add oil until the level reaches the upper mark on the sight glass (F).
