SPARK PLUG
● Remove the spark plug cap and disassemble the plug.
● Check the plug for damage, contamination or deposits.
● If the spark plug is severely contaminated or damaged,
raplace with a new one. If the plug can be reused after
removing only the carbon, use plug cleaner and wire
brush to clean the plug.
● Always use a feeler gauge to check the gap.
GENUINE PLUG : CR8EH-9
SPARK PLUG GAP : 0.8~0.9mm
TORQUE : 1.1kgf··m (11N··m)
VALVE CLEARANCE
● Remove the cylinder head cover.
● Remove the A.C generator cap and crankcase hole cap.
● Rotate the flywheel counterclockwise to align the "T"
mark with the index mark on the left crankcase cover.
● Make sure the piston is at TDC(Top Dead Center) on
the compression stroke.
Make sure there is no dirt or debris on the seat of the
spark plug hole before inserting the spark plug.
To prevent damage to the cylinder head, handtighten
the spark plug before using a wrench to tighten to the
specified torque.
Do not overtighten the spark plug.
Inspect and adjust valve clearance while the engine
is cold. (below 35° C/95°F)

● Measure the valve clearance with a feeler gauge.
VALVE CLEARANCE : INTAKE : 0.12±±0.02mm
EXHAUST : 0.12±±0.02mm
● Loosen the lock nut with a vlave wrench, and set valve
clearance to a prescribed level by turning the adjusting
screw with a valve adjusting wrench.
● After setting clearance to the prescribed level, hold the
adjuster screw with a valve adjusting wrench, and
tighten the lock nut.
