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 tight-
en it to the specified torque.
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.
3. Install the spark plug cap.

Transmission oil
The transmission must be checked for
oil leakage before each ride. If any
leakage is found, have a Yamaha deal-
er check and repair the motorcycle. In
addition, the transmission oil must be
changed at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
1. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
2. Place the motorcycle on a level
surface and hold it in an upright po-
sition.
3. Place an oil pan under the trans-
mission case to collect the used
oil.
4. Remove the oil filler cap, the trans-
mission oil drain bolt and its gasket
to drain the oil from the transmis-
sion.
5. Install the drain bolt and its new
gasket, and then tighten the bolt to
the specified torque.
6. Refill with the specified amount of
the recommended transmission
oil, and then install and tighten the
oil filler cap.
