ENGINE OIL
Engine Oil Replacement
Engine oil quality is the primary factor affecting engine longevity. Change your
scooter's engine oil as specified in the maintenance schedule (see page 36).
NOTE: Change the engine oil with the engine at normal operating temperature
and the scooter on its centre stand to insure complete and rapid draining.
1.
Remove the oil filler cap / dipstick (3) from the right crankcase cover.
2.
Place a suitable container (drain pan) under the left crank case.
3.
Remove the oil drain plug (4) from the crankcase to drain the oil.
4.
Reinstall the drain plug and tighten it to the specified torque.
5.
Add oil to the engine per the amounts listed below, and reinstall the oil filler
cap / dipstick.
Engine Oil Capacity:
1.5 L
Engine Oil Exchanging Capacity:
1.3 L
NOTE: Amounts are after draining the oil only.
6.
Start the engine and let it idle for 2-3 minutes.
7.
Stop the engine and check the oil level on the dipstick when the scooter is
parked on the centre stand on level ground.
8.
Adjust the oil level as required (so that the level reaches the upper mark on
the dipstick). Replace the dipstick and inspect for any leaks.
CAUTION
Running the engine with insufficient oil pressure can cause serious engine
damage.
