Engine Oil
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.
Oil Level Inspection
1. Filler
2. Filler plug/dipstick
3. Upper marking
4. Lower marking
Note:
• An accurate indication of the level of
oil in the engine is only shown when
the engine oil is at normal operating
temperature, the motorcycle is
upright (not on the side stand) and
the filler plug/dipstick has been fully
screwed in.
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.
Never start the engine or run the
engine in a confined area. Exhaust
fumes are poisonous and can cause
loss of consciousness and death
within a short period of time.
Always operate your motorcycle in the
open-air or in an area with adequate
ventilation.
