Changing Engine Oil & Filter
Changing the oil and filter requires special
tools. We recommend that you have your
motorcycle serviced by your dealer.
Use a new Honda Genuine oil filter or
equivalent specified for your model.
1.
If the engine is cold, idle the engine for 3
to 5 minutes.
2.
Turn the ignition switch off, and wait for
2 to 3 minutes.
3.
Place on a firm, level surface and lower
the side stand.
4.
Place a drain pan under the drain bolt.
5.
Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick, drain
bolt, and sealing washer to drain the oil.
6.
Remove the oil filter with a filter wrench
and let the remaining oil drain out. Make
sure the prior seal is not stuck to the
engine.
u
Discard the oil and oil filter at an
approved recycling center.
NOTICE
Using the wrong oil filter can result in serious damage to
the engine.
