Tools and Materials Needed

- Anti-seize compound (optional)
Steps to Change the Spark Plug
- Preparation: Ensure the bike is on a stable surface and the engine is cool to the touch. Disconnect the spark plug wire by pulling it straight off the plug.
- Remove the Old Spark Plug: Use the spark plug socket and ratchet wrench to carefully unscrew the old spark plug from the engine. Turn counterclockwise until it is free.
- Inspect the Old Spark Plug: Check the old spark plug for signs of wear or damage. This can provide insights into the engine's condition. A worn or fouled plug may indicate other issues.
- 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 torque wrench to tighten the spark plug to the manufacturer's specifications (typically around 9 ft-lbs for the CRF100F).
- Reconnect the Spark Plug Wire: Push the spark plug wire back onto the new spark plug until it clicks into place.
