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. Sight glass
3. Oil level (correct level shown)
4. Crankcase oil level lines
Start the engine and run at idle for
approximately five minutes.
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.
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.
