INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
to specification.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Remove the top cowl.
3. Remove the spark plug caps.
4. Remove the spark plugs by turning it
counter-clockwise, using a 21 mm (13/
16 in) socket wrench and handle that is
provided in tool bag.
5. Inspect the spark plug. Replace the
spark plug if the electrodes are worn or
i f t h e i n s u l a t o r s a r e c r a c k e d o r
chipped.
6. Measure the spark plug electrode gap
with a wire type feeler gauge. The gap
should be 0.9-1.0 mm (0.035-0.039
inches). If the gap is different, replace
the spark plug with a new one
Use spark plug NGK B7HS-10 or
BR7HS-10.

Note
Spark plug torque:
25.0 Nm (18 ft-lb) [2.5 kgf-m]
If a torque-wrench is not available when you
are fitting a spark plug, a good estimate of
the correct torque is 1/4 to 1/2 a turn past
finger-tight. Have the spark plug adjusted to
the correct torque as soon as possible with
a torque-wrench.
