Clean the surface of the spark plug
gasket and its mating surface, and then
wipe off any grime from the spark plug
threads.
TIP
If a torque wrench is not available when
installing a spark plug, a good estimate
of the correct torque is 1/4–1/2 turn
past finger tight. However, the spark
plug should be tightened to the speci-
fied torque as soon as possible.

Engine oil and oil filter
cartridge
The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge replaced at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for two
minutes, and then turn it off.
NOTICE
ECA11291
The engine must be cold before pro-
ceeding with the oil level check, oth-
erwise the check will result in a false
reading.
3. Wait two minutes until the oil set-
tles, and then check the oil level
through the check window located
at the bottom-left side of the crank-
case.
TIP
The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
