Use only the recommended type of spark
plugs in the recommended heat range.
NOTICE
Using spark plugs an improper heat range can cause
engine damage.
This motorcycle uses spark plugs that have an
iridium coated center electrode.
Be sure to observe the following when
servicing the spark plugs.
●
Do not clean the spark plugs. If an
electrode is contaminated with
accumulated objects or dirt, replace the
spark plug with a new one.
●
To check the spark plug gap, use only a
''wire-type feeler gauge.'' To prevent
damaging the iridium coating of the center
electrode, never use a ''leaf-type feeler
gauge.''
●
Do not adjust the spark plug gap. If the
gap is out of specification, replace the
spark plug with a new one.
