Inspection
The spark plug is an important engine compo-
nent and is easy to inspect. The condition of
the spark plug can indicate the condition of the
engine.
The ideal color on the white insulator around
the center electrode is a medium-to-light tan
color for a ATV that is being ridden normally.
Do not attempt to diagnose such problems
yourself. Instead, take the ATV to a Yamaha
dealer. You should periodically remove and in-
spect the spark plug because heat and deposits
will cause the spark plug to slowly break down
and erode. If electrode erosion becomes exces-
sive, or if carbon and other deposits are exces-
sive, you should replace the spark plug with
the specified plug.
