To check the spark plug
1. Check that the porcelain insulator around the
center electrode of the spark plug is a medi-
um-to-light tan (the ideal color when the vehi-
cle is ridden normally).
TIP
If the spark plug shows a distinctly different color,
the engine could be operating improperly. Do not
attempt to diagnose such problems yourself. In-
stead, have a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
2. Check the spark plug for electrode erosion
and excessive carbon or other deposits, and
replace it if necessary.
Specified spark plug:
NGK/CPR7EA-9
3. Measure the spark plug gap with a wire thick-
ness gauge and, if necessary, adjust the gap
to specification.
1. Spark plug gap
Spark plug gap:
0.8–0.9 mm (0.031–0.035 in)
To install the spark plug
1. Clean the surface of the spark plug gasket
and its mating surface, and then wipe off any
grime from the spark plug threads.

wrench, and then tighten it to the specified
torque.
