20-30 seconds.
3. Stop the engine and remove the
seat as described on page 29.

panel and remove the panel (1).
4. Remove the dipstick (2) and wipe it
dry with a clean cloth.
5. Replace the dipstick and seat it completely.
6. Remove the dipstick and check to see
that the oil level is between the FULL

through the oil filler hole (5) as needed.
Do not overfill.
NOTE:
A rising oil level between checks
in cool weather driving can indicate
moisture collecting in the oil reservoir. If
the oil level is over the full mark, change
the oil.
