CHECKING THE SPARK PLUGS
Handlebar side
a. Loosen the locknut 4.
b. Turn the adjusting nut 5 in direction
c or d until the specified throttle
cable free play is obtained.
c. Tighten the locknut.
WARNINGWARNING
After adjusting the throttle cable free
play, start the engine and turn the han-
dlebars to the right and to the left to
ensure that this does not cause the
engine idling speed to change.

CHECKING THE SPARK PLUGS
The following procedure applies to all of
the spark plugs.
1. Remove:
• fuel tank
• air filter case cover
Refer to “FUEL TANK AND AIR FIL-
TER”.
• air filter case
Refer to “ELECTRONIC FUEL INJEC-
TION” in chapter 6.
2. Disconnect:
• ignition coil couplers
3. Remove:
• ignition coils
• spark plug
ACHTUNG:CAUTION:
Before removing the spark plugs, blow
away any dirt accumulated in the spark
plug wells with compressed air to pre-
vent it from falling into the cylinders.
4. Check:
• spark plug type
Incorrect ® Change.
