9.3. Engine oil replacement
Engine oil quality is the chief factor affecting
engine service life. Change the engine oil as
specified in the maintenance schedule.
When running in very dusty conditions, oil
changes should be performed more
frequently than specified in the maintenance
schedule.
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
center 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.
Change the engine oil with the engine at
normal operating temperature and the
scooter on its center stand to assure
complete and rapid draining.
1. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick (1)
from the right crankcase cover.
2. Place a container under the left
crankcase.
3. Remove the oil drain plug (2) to drain
the oil.
4. Reinstall the drain plug and tighten the
drain plug to specification.
Oil drain plug torque: 2.5 kgf-m
5. Fill the crankcase with the
recommended grade oil and install the
oil fill cap.
Oil capacity (after draining): 1.0 liter
6. Start the engine and let it idle for 2
－
3
minutes.
7. Stop the engine and check that the oil
level is at the upper level mark on the oil
filler cap/dipstick with the scooter
upright on firm, level ground. Make sure
there are no oil leaks.

Let the engine and exhaust system
cool before working in those areas.
