How Many Kilometers Should a Scooter's Spark Plug Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Scooters require spark plug replacement every 30,000 kilometers. The spark plug is a component of the ignition system and needs regular replacement. Spark Plug Replacement Interval: Under normal maintenance conditions, spark plugs should be replaced after 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type. It is recommended to follow the user manual. The following standards can be referenced for maintenance replacement: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, standard nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Steps for Replacing Spark Plugs: Open the engine hood and lift the plastic cover of the engine. Remove the high-voltage distributor wires, marking each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for external debris such as leaves or dust and ensure they are thoroughly cleaned. Place the new spark plug into the spark plug hole, hand-tighten it a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten it further. Reinstall the high-voltage distributor wires in the firing order and secure the cover.
