Spark Plug Replacement
« on: October 25, 2010, 08:37:51 AM »
Hi,
    I am having trouble locating the spark plug. I have the manual which shows a picture but I cant see what part of the engine this relates to and I dont want to take all the plastic bits off if I dont need to! The scooter is great and I am trying to save as much money as possible by doing what maintenance I can and I figure the spark plug must be pretty easy when you know where to look. Have already done the oil with no problems.

I would be very gratfull for youre help!

Can anyone tell me exactly how to replace the spark plug?

Thanks in advance

Lie on the floor on the side of the scoot where the exhaust can is and look up: you will see the black rubber spark plug cap and a cable.
Tear the cap off: the spark plug is underneath.
You can use the spark plug wrench and a screwdriver piece from the OEM tool set under the seat to remove it, be careful to use the right side.

It requires some fiddling as the space is narrow and there are few pieces of sharp metal around there (frame, metal OEM tags etc.), I usually cut both hands when I change it, so be prepared...

The alternative would be removing the box under the seat togetwher with the seat, and you can have access to the spark plug from above.

I took the box off but couldnt identify the plug and didnt want to pull things around... when i am looking at the top of the engine with the box off can you help me identify the plug?

Thanks
