Checking the spark plug
The spark plug is an important engine
component, which should be checked
periodically, preferably by a Yamaha
dealer. Since heat and deposits will
cause any spark plug to slowly erode, it
should be removed and checked in ac-
cordance with the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. In addition,
the condition of the spark plug can re-
veal the condition of the engine.
The porcelain insulator around the cen-
ter electrode of the spark plug should
be a medium-to-light tan (the ideal color
when the vehicle is ridden normally). If
the spark plug shows a distinctly differ-
ent color, the engine could be operating
improperly. Do not attempt to diagnose
such problems yourself. Instead, have
a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
If the spark plug shows signs of elec-
trode erosion and excessive carbon or
other deposits, it should be replaced.
