ENGINE OIL LEVEL
The engine oil tank is located
behind the right frame cover.
Check the oil level through the oil
level inspection window 1 each
time before starting the engine. If
the oil level is below the inspec-
tion window, replenish the oil tank
with the specified oil. To replenish
the oil, unscrew the knob 2 to
remove the frame cover and draw
out the oil tank 3 from the frame.
Fill up the tank with the specified
oil. The oil tank holds 0.3 L (0.3
US qt).
This motorcycle is equipped with
a two-stroke engine. Two stroke
engines consume oil along with
gasoline in the combustion pro-
cess. Therefore, it is important to
check the engine oil level before
each ride.
CAUTION
Running the engine without an
adequate amount of engine oil
can cause severe engine dam-
age such as overheating and
piston seizure.
Always check the amount of
engine oil before starting the
engine.
