CAUTION
Use only the recommended spark plugs.
Spark plugs which have an different heat
range may cause engine damage.
If the spark plug(s) is fouled, has carbon
build up, or is worn, it should be replaced.
When reusing spark plugs, remove dirt
from the electrodes and adjust spark gap
to specification.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Remove the top cowl.
3. Remove the spark plug caps.

Note
 Spark plug torque:
18.0 Nm (13.3 ft-lb) [1.84 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.
