Step-by-Step Guide
1. Prepare Your ATV
Ensure your Yamaha YFM350ER is on a flat surface and the engine is cool to the touch. Disconnect the battery to prevent any accidental starts.
2. Locate the Spark Plug
The spark plug is located on the engine's top side. Remove any covers or components obstructing access to the spark plug.
3. Remove the Old Spark Plug
Use the spark plug socket and ratchet wrench to carefully unscrew the old spark plug. Turn counterclockwise until it is free. Inspect the old plug for any signs of damage or wear.
4. Check the New Spark Plug
Before installation, check the gap on the new spark plug using a gap tool. The correct gap for the YFM350ER is typically 0.6-0.7mm. Adjust if necessary.
5. Install the New Spark Plug
Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the threads of the new spark plug if desired. Carefully thread the new spark plug into the engine by hand to avoid cross-threading. Once hand-tight, use the socket and wrench to snug it up – do not over-tighten.
6. Reassemble and Test
Reattach any covers or components removed earlier. Reconnect the battery. Start the engine to ensure the new spark plug is functioning correctly.
