*1.
The JASO T 903 standard is an index for engine
oils for 4-stroke motorcycle engines. There are
two classes: MA and MB. For example, the
following label shows the MB classification.
*2.
The SAE standard grades oils by their viscosity.
*3.
The API classification specifies the quality and
performance rating of engine oils. Use SG or
higher oils, excluding oils marked as “Energy
Conserving” or “Resource Conserving” on the
circular API service symbol.
Do not add or replace brake fluid, except in an
emergency. Use only fresh brake fluid from a
sealed container. If you do add fluid, have the
brake system serviced by your dealer as soon as
possible.
Service more frequently when riding in rain, at
full throttle, or after the vehicle is washed or
overturned. Service if the deposit level can be
seen in the transparent section of the drain tube.
If the drain tube overflows, the air filter may
become contaminated with engine oil causing
poor engine performance.
