plug of other brand may result in
operational difficulties. Therefore,
consult with your distributor
before selecting other brands of
spark plug.

quality engine oil and regular oil
replacement. Oil level check and
regular oil replacement are very
important tasks.
Check engine oil level
Precaution
：
The engine oil dipstick shows
the oil level. When oil level is low,
never start the engine. Fill with oil
until the oil level is just below the
upper limit of the oil window.
Replacement of engine oil and oil
filter
Replace the engine oil and oil
filter after the first 500 mi and
every 2000 mi thereafter. Oil
replacement shall be carried out

as to thoroughly drain old oil from
the engine. The method is as
follows:
1. Park the motorcycle using a
rear stand.
2. Remove the oil filler cap.
3.
Remove the drain plug from the
strainer cover on the engine
bottom to drain the oil.
