0.7–0.8 mm (0.028–0.031 in)
a Gap
TIP
The spark plug gap should be measured with a wire
thickness gauge and, if necessary, adjusted to specifi-
cation.
5. Install the spark plug.
Spark plug torque:
18 Nm (1.8 m·kgf, 13 ft·lbf)
TIP
If a torque wrench is not available when installing a
spark plug, a good estimate of the correct torque is
1/4-1/2 turn past finger tight. However, the spark plug
should be tightened to the specified torque as soon as
possible.
6. Install the spark plug cap.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

should be left to a Yamaha dealer with the profession-
al knowledge, specialized data, and equipment to do
