Oil change
NOTE
The engine must be completely cool and then warm up the
engine again for a few minutes to normal operating temperature,
to register the correct engine oil temperature and to obtain an
accurate oil level measurement.
- The transmission oil should be changed periodically to ensure
long engine life.
- Warm up the engine for 5 minutes so any oil sediment will float.
- Stop the engine, and place an oil pan under the engine.
- Remove the drain screw (see previous photo) and place the
motorcycle in riding position to allow the oil to drain out.
