Spark Plugs

Spark Plug Gap/Torque

Refer to the specifications section for spark plug and gap specifications.

NOTICE
Spark plug condition is indicative of engine operation. The spark plug firing end condition should be read after the engine is warmed up and the vehicle is driven at higher speeds. Immediately check the spark plug for correct color. Using non-recommended spark plugs can result in serious engine damage. Always use POLARIS-recommended spark plugs or their equivalent.
WARNING
A hot exhaust system and engine can cause burns. Wear protective gloves when removing a spark plug for inspection.

Spark Plug Condition

Normal Plug

The tip should not be white. A white insulator tip indicates overheating, caused by use of an improper spark plug or incorrect throttle body adjustments.

Wet Fouled Plug

The wet fouled insulator tip is black. A damp oil film covers the firing end. There may be a carbon layer over the entire nose.

Generally, the electrodes are not worn. General causes of fouling are excessive oil, use of non-recommended injection oil or incorrect throttle body adjustments.

Spark Plug Removal and Replacement

  1. Remove the spark plug cap.

  2. Using the spark plug wrench provided in the tool kit, remove the plug by rotating it counter-clockwise.

  3. Reverse the procedure for spark plug installation. Torque to specification.
