TIP
If the spark plug shows a distinctly different color,
the engine could be operating improperly. Do not
attempt to diagnose such problems yourself. In-
stead, have a Yamaha dealer check the ATV.
2. Check the spark plug for electrode erosion
and excessive carbon or other deposits, and
replace it if necessary.
3. Measure the spark plug gap with a wire thick-
ness gauge and, if necessary, adjust the gap
to specification.
To install the spark plug
1. Clean the surface of the spark plug gasket
and its mating surface, and then wipe off any
grime from the spark plug threads.
2. Install the spark plug with the spark plug
wrench, and then tighten it to the specified
torque.

NGK/CR7HSA
