SPARK PLUG
To access the spark plug, the cover front has to be
removed. Follow the procedure to remove the cover
front.
1. Open the seat and remove the top mounting
screws (A) from both the sides of cover front.
2. Remove the bottom mounting bolt (B) of cover
front.
3. Gently pull out the cover front by dislocating its
lugs.
4. Clean the dust and mud around the spark plug
mounting to avoid falling inside the cylinder.
5. Pull out the suppressor cap from spark plug.
Using the spark plug spanner, remove the spark
plug.
A spark plug with heavy carbon deposits will not
produce strong sparks. Hence, only if necessary,
clean the carbon deposits from the spark plug with a
small wire brush or spark plug cleaning tool.
Inspect the spark plug electrodes (A) and (B) for
any corrosion. If found any, replace the spark plug
with a new. Inspect the spark plug gap with a wire
gauge / feeler gauge. Readjust the spark plug gap to
1.0 ~ 1.1 mm
if required.
