The spark plug is an important engine component,
which should be checked periodically, preferably by
a dealer. Since heat and deposits will cause any
spark plug to slowly erode, it should be removed and
checked in accordance with the periodic mainte-
nance. In addition, the condition of the spark plug
can reveal the condition of the engine.
The porcelain insulator around the center electrode
of the spark plug should be a medium-to-light tan
(the ideal color when the vehicle is ridden normally).
If the spark plug shows a distinctly different color, the
engine could be operating improperly. Do not attempt
Clean the surface of the spark plug gasket and its
mating surface, and then wipe off any grime from
the spark plug threads.
CHECKING THE SPARK PLUG
The engine oil level should be checked before each
ride. In addition, the oil must be changed at the inter-
vals specified in the periodic maintenance and lubri-
cation chart.

Check engine oil level every time before driving your
vehicle. Oil level shall lie between the max point and
the min point on the oil dipstick , as shown in the
figure.
1. Start the engine and run it at idle speed for 2-3
minutes.
2. Stop the engine and then support the vehicle
to diagnose such problems yourself. Instead, have a
dealer check the vehicle.
If the spark plug shows signs of electrode erosion
and excessive carbon or other deposits, it should be
replaced.
Before installing a spark plug, the spark plug gap
should be measured with thickness gauge and, if
necessary, adjusted to specification.
