ATV 250 - Periodic Maintenance and Adjustments

NOTE:

Failure to properly maintain the vehicle or performing maintenance activ-

ities incorrectly may increase your risk of injury or death during service or

while using the vehicle. If you are not familiar with vehicle service, have a

dealer perform the service.

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

maintenance and lubrication chart. In addition, the condition of the spark

plug can reveal the condition of the engine.
