Tools and Materials Needed

  • Spark plug socket
  • Ratchet wrench
  • New spark plug (NGK CR6HSA recommended)
  • Torque wrench
  • Dielectric grease (optional)

Steps to Change the Spark Plug

1. Prepare Your Bike

Ensure your TTR110 is on a stable surface and the engine is cool to the touch. Disconnect the spark plug cap by pulling it straight off the plug.

2. 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 from the engine.

3. Inspect the Old Spark Plug

Check the old spark plug for signs of wear or damage. A worn spark plug can indicate other engine issues. If the plug is oily or has excessive carbon build-up, it may be time to check the engine's fuel mixture or oil levels.

4. Install the New Spark Plug

Before installing the new spark plug, apply a small amount of dielectric grease to the threads to ensure easy removal in the future. 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 8.7 lb-ft for the TTR110).

5. Reattach the Spark Plug Cap

Push the spark plug cap back onto the new spark plug until it clicks into place. Ensure it is securely attached to prevent any misfires.
