the atmosphere. Before operating this
vehicle, make sure to check the following:

Engine oil and oil filter cartridge
The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil must
be changed at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a flat surface and
keep it upright. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several
minutes, and then turn it off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil settles,
and then check the oil level through the
engine oil level check window located at
the bottom-right side of the crankcase.
TIP
The engine oil should be between the mi-
nimum and maximum level marks.
4. If the engine oil is below the minimum
level mark, add sufficient oil of the recom-
mended type to raise it to the correct le-
vel.
