Oil Level Inspection
In
order for the engine, transmission, and clutch to
function correctly, maintain the engine oil at the
correct level, and change the
oil
and oil filter
in
accordance with scheduled maintenance
requirements.
Motorcycle operation with insufficient, deteriorated,
or contaminated engine oil will cause accelerated
engine wear and may result
in
engine or
transmission seizure. Seizure of the engine or
transmission
may
lead to sudden loss of control and
an
accident.

a semi or fully synthetic 10W/40 or 15W/50
