8 Since the cylinder head is made of aluminum, which is soft and
easily damaged, thread the plugs into the heads by hand. Since the
plugs are recessed, slip a short length of hose over the end of the plug
to use as a tool to thread it into place. The hose will grip the plug well
enough to turn it, but will start to slip if the plug begins to cross-thread
in the hole - this will prevent damaged threads and the accompanying
repair costs.
9 Once the plugs are finger tight, the job can be finished with a
socket. If a torque wrench is available, tighten the spark plugs to the
torque listed in this Chapter's Specifications. If you do not have a
torque wrench, tighten the plugs finger tight (until the washers bottom
on the cylinder head) then use a wrench to tighten them an additional
1/4 to 1/2 turn. Regardless of the method used, do not over-tighten
them.
10 Reconnect the spark plug caps and reinstall the air ducts.
17 Lubrication - general
Refer to illustrations 17.2a, 17.2b, 17.2c, 17.3a and 17.3b
1 Since the controls, cables and various other components of a
motorcycle are exposed to the elements, they should be lubricated
periodically to ensure safe and trouble-free operation.
2 The' footpegs, clutch and brake lever, brake pedal, shift lever and
sidestand/centerstand pivots should be lubricated frequently (see
illustrations). In order for the lubricant to be applied where it will do
the most good, the component should be disassembled. However, if
chain and cable lubricant is being used, it can be applied to the pivot
joint gaps and will usually work its way into the areas where friction
occurs. If motor oil or light grease is being used, apply it sparingly as it
may attract dirt (which could cause the controls to bind or wear at an
accelerated rate). Note: One of the best lubricants for the control lever
pivots is a dry-film lubricant (available from many sources by different
names).
3 To lubricate the throttle and choke cables, disconnect the cable(s)
at the lower end, then lubricate the cable with a pressure lube adapter
(see illustration). If you don't have one, disconnect both ends of the
cable and use a funnel (see illustration). See Chapter 3, Part B for the
choke cable removal procedure (XV535 models don't have a choke
cable). Note: Yamaha recommends that the throttle twist grip be
