Spark Plugs

Spark Plug Recommendations

Refer to the specifications section beginning on page 94 for the recommended spark plug 
type for your vehicle. Always torque spark plugs to specification.

NOTICE:

Using non-recommended spark plugs can result in serious engine damage. Always use 
POLARIS-recommended spark plugs.

Spark Plug Gap/Torque

Spark Plug Inspection

Spark plug condition is indicative of engine operation. The spark plug firing end condition 
should be read after the engine is warmed up and the vehicle is driven at higher speeds. 
Immediately check the spark plug for correct color.

CAUTION!

A hot exhaust system and engine can cause burns. Wear protective gloves when 

removing a spark plug for inspection.

1. Remove the seat. Remove the spark plug cap.
2. Using the spark plug wrench provided in the tool kit, remove the plug by rotating it 

counterclockwise.

3. Reverse the procedure for spark plug installation. Torque to specification.

Normal Plug

The normal insulator tip is gray, tan or light brown. There will be few combustion deposits. 
The electrodes are not burned or eroded. This indicates the proper type and heat range for the 
engine and the service.

The tip should not be white. A white insulator tip indicates overheating, caused by use of an 
improper spark plug or incorrect throttle body adjustments.

Wet Fouled Plug

The wet fouled insulator tip is black. A damp oil film covers the firing end. There may be a 
carbon layer over the entire nose. Generally, the electrodes are not worn. General causes of 
fouling are excessive oil, use of non-recommended oil or incorrect throttle body adjustments.
