spark plug wrench, and then tight-
en it to the specified torque.
Tightening torque:
Spark plug:
13 Nm (1.3 m·kgf, 9.4 ft·lbf)

If a torque wrench is not available when
installing a spark plug, a good estimate
of the correct torque is 1/4–1/2 turn

Engine oil

The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
The engine oil must also be changed at
the initial 1000 km (600 mi) and when
the oil change indicator color changes
from green to red. The oil change indi-
cator must be reset after the initial 1000
km (600 mi). (See page 3-2 for reset
procedures.)
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand.
NOTE:
Make sure that the vehicle is positioned
straight up when checking the oil level.
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.
