ENGINE OIL
Engine life depends on oil amount
and quality. Daily oil level checks
and periodic changes are two of
the most important maintenance
items to be performed.
Engine Oil Level Check
Check the engine oil level as fol-
lows:
1. Place the motorcycle on level
ground on the side stand.
2. Start the engine and allow it to
idle for a few minutes.
3. Stop the engine and wait for
three minutes.
4. Hold the motorcycle vertically
and check the oil level through
the oil level inspection window
on the right side of the engine.
The engine oil level should be
between “L” (low) and “F” (full)
lines.
Engine Oil and Filter Change
Change the engine oil and oil filter
at the scheduled times. The
engine should always be warm
when the oil is changed so the oil
will drain easily. The procedure is
as follows:
1. Place the motorcycle on the
side stand.
2. Remove the oil filler cap 1.
CAUTION
The engine oil level must be
between the “L” (Low) line and
“F” (Full) line, or engine dam-
age may occur.
Inspect the oil level, through
the inspection window, with the
motorcycle held vertically on
level ground before each use of
the motorcycle.
