Ensure your TTR90 is on a stable surface and the engine is cool to the touch. Disconnect the spark plug wire by pulling it off the plug gently.

Use the spark plug socket wrench to loosen and remove the old spark plug. Turn counterclockwise until it is free. Inspect the old plug for any signs of damage or excessive wear, which could indicate other engine issues.
