Before starting the engine, remove the anti-

system using a mild detergent and water.
Rinse with clean water.
Support the motorcycle in an upright position
on a firm, level surface.
Check the oil inspection window to be sure

If no oil is present in the window, remove the
oil filler cap and add the recommended oil to
bring the level up to between the upper and
lower level marks.
