Sparkplug - Ossa Explorer User Manual

Sparkplug

To access the sparkplug detach the right side cover (see fig. 1).
Once the cover has been removed, the motorcycle's electrical sys-
tem can be accessed. Carefully but firmly, pull away the hood that
provides current, leaving the upper part of the sparkplug exposed.
Using a special sparkplug tool, unscrew it and take it out from the
right side of the motorcycle (see fig. 2).
The sparkplug should be checked regularly and a spare spark-
plug should be carried at all times in case it comes off. The
sparkplug can accumulate charcoal and dirt with use. For this
reason, it can be removed and cleaned so that it lasts longer.

The transmission chain transmits the engine's movement to the
rear wheel. To ensure that is works correctly, it should be checked.
The axle has easily adjustable eccentrics
for tensing the chain and centring the
wheel.
The chain hook should be positioned in
an opposite direction to the gear, as can
be seen in the photo.
The chain tension should permit 2 cm of
oscillation in the chain tension adjuster.
