Engine oil quality is the chief factor affecting engine service life. Change the
engine oil as specified in the maintenance schedule (page
).
When running in very dusty conditions, oil changes should be performed more
frequently than specified in the maintenance schedule.
Changing the oil filter requires a special oil filter tool and a torque wrench. If
you do not have these tools and the necessary skill, we recommend that you
have your dealer perform this service.
If a torque wrench is not used for this installation, see your dealer as soon as
possible to verify proper assembly.
Change the engine oil with the engine at normal operating temperature and the
motorcycle on its centre stand to assure complete and rapid draining.
Please dispose of used engine oil in a manner that is compatible with the
environment. We suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local
recycling centre or service station for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash
or pour it on the ground or down a drain.
Used engine oil may cause skin cancer if repeatedly left in contact with the skin
for prolonged periods. Although this is unlikely unless you handle used oil on a
daily basis, it is still advisable to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and
water as soon as possible after handling used oil.
