Maintenance and Adjustment
93
To inspect the oil level:
Start the engine and run at idle for
approximately five minutes.
Stop the engine and wait for
three minutes to allow the oil to settle.
With the motorcycle upright, remove the
filler plug/dipstick, wipe the blade clean
and screw it fully in.
Remove the filler plug/dipstick.
The oil level is indicated by lines on the
filler plug/dipstick. When full, the
indicated oil level must be level with the
upper marking on the dipstick.
If the oil level is below the lower marking,
add oil a little at a time until the correct
level is reached. Once the correct level is
reached, refit the filler plug/dipstick.
Oil and Oil Filter Change
1. Oil drain plug
2. Oil filter
The engine oil and filter must be
replaced in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.
To change the oil and oil filter:
Warm up the engine thoroughly, and
then stop the engine and secure the
motorcycle in an upright position on
level ground.
Place an oil drain pan beneath the
engine.
Remove the oil drain plug. Discard the
sealing washer.
Running the engine with insufficient
oil will cause engine damage. If the low
oil pressure indicator remains on, stop
the engine immediately and
investigate the cause.
Prolonged or repeated contact with
engine oil can lead to skin dryness,
irritation and dermatitis. In addition,
used engine oil contains harmful
contaminants that can lead to skin
cancer.
Always wear suitable protective
clothing and avoid skin contact with
used oil.
