REPLACING SPARK PLUGS
1. Remove the rocker cover ornament using a
suitable hexagon socket. (Front side)
2. Disconnect the electrical connectors.
3. Loosen the ignition coil fixing bolts. And
remove the ignition coil to give access to
the spark plugs.
4. Remove the spark plugs with a spark plug
socket.
The plug socket has a rubber seal that
holds the spark plug so that it will not fall
when it is pulled out. Make sure that each
spark plug is snugly fitted into the plug
socket.
5. Fit the new plugs, one at a time, into the
spark plug socket and install them. Turn
each plug in several full turns by hand, then
tighten with a spark plug socket to the
correct torque. Do not overtighten.
Spark plug tightening torque:
14 to 22 ft-lb
(20 to 29 N
m)
6. Holding the ignition coil, re-connect each
ignition coil to its proper spark plug by
pushing it on until you feel a snap.
7. Tighten all ignition coils.
