CHECKING OIL LEVEL
An accurate engine oil level reading can only be ob-
tained with the engine at normal operating temperature.
The engine will require a longer warm up period in cold-
er temperatures if using the hot check procedure.
NOTES
 As part of the pre-ride inspection, verify that there
are no oil leaks from the oil filter cover or oil lines
prior to the operating of the motorcycle.
 The motorcycle should be on the sidestand when
checking the oil level.
 Refer to table 20. Use only recommended oil speci-
fied.
Do not allow oil level to fall below the MIN mark on
the sight gage. Doing so can result in equipment
damage and/or equipment malfunction.
Do not overfill oil tank. Doing so can result in oil car-
ryover to the air box leading to equipment damage
and/or equipment malfunction.
Do not switch lubricant brands indiscriminately.
Some lubricant brands will interact with each other
chemically when they are mixed together. Use of in-
ferior lubricants can damage the engine.
Oil Level Cold Check
Perform engine oil level Cold Check as follows:
An accurate engine oil check can only be made with the engine
at normal operating temperature .
1. With motorcycle on the side stand look at the oil level in
the sight gauge. An indicated oil level between the lower
and upper lines on the oil level sight gauge is acceptable
for safe engine operation.
2. If there is no oil present in the sight gauge lift the motorcycle
to a straight up and down position to see if any oil
appears in the sight gauge.
