Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Locate the Spark Plug

The spark plug on the 2010 GAS GAS TXT PRO 125 is located on the top of the engine. Remove any components that may obstruct access, such as the seat or fuel tank, if necessary.

Step 2: Remove the Spark Plug Cap

Carefully pull the spark plug cap off the spark plug. Be gentle to avoid damaging the cap or the wire.

Step 3: Remove the Old Spark Plug

Using the spark plug socket and ratchet wrench, turn the spark plug counterclockwise to remove it. If the plug is difficult to remove, apply a small amount of penetrating oil and let it sit for a few minutes before trying again.

Check the old spark plug for signs of wear or damage. This can provide insight into the engine's condition. A worn or fouled plug may indicate issues with the fuel mixture or ignition system.

Step 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 torque wrench to tighten the spark plug to the manufacturer's specified torque setting.

Step 6: Reattach the Spark Plug Cap

Firmly press the spark plug cap back onto the new spark plug until it clicks into place.
