Periodic maintenance and adjustment
To install the spark plug
1. Clean the surface of the spark
plug gasket and its mating sur-
face, 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 speci ed torque.
Tightening torque:
Spark plug:
13 N·m (1.3 kgf·m, 9.6 lb·ft)
TIP
If a torque wrench is not available
when installing a spark plug, a good
8
estimate of the correct torque is 1/4–
1/2 turn past nger tight. However, the
spark plug should be tightened to the
speci ed torque as soon as possible.
3. Install the spark plug cap.
4. Install the panel B.
Engine oil and oil lter ele-
ment
The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil lter ele-
ment replaced at the intervals speci ed
in the periodic maintenance and lubri-
cation chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set-
tles, remove the oil ller cap, wipe
the dipstick clean, insert it back
into the oil ller hole (without
screwing it in), and then remove it
again to check the oil level.
