When installing a spark plug, the gas-
ket surface should always be cleaned
and a new gasket used. Any grime
should be wiped off from the threads
and the spark plug tightened to the
specified torque.
NOTE:
If a torque wrench is not available when
installing a spark plug, a good estimate
of the correct torque is 1/4 to 1/2 turn
past finger tight. The spark plug should
be tightened to the specified torque as
soon as possible.
Tightening torque:
Spark plug:
12.5 Nm (1.25 mákg)

Oil level inspection

terstand. Warm up the engine for
several minutes.
NOTE:
Be sure the motorcycle is positioned
straight up when checking the oil level.
A slight tilt toward the side can result in
false readings.
1. Engine oil filler cap
2. With the engine stopped, check
the oil level through the level win-
dow located at the lower part of
the right side crankcase cover.
NOTE:
Wait a few minutes until the oil level
settles before checking.
3. The oil level should be between
the maximum and minimum
marks. If the level is low, fill the en-
gine with sufficient oil to reach the
specified level.
