together with the engine oil change.
Engine Oil Replacement
1) Keep the motorcycle upright.
2) Place an oil pan below the engine, and drain engine
oil by removing the oil drain plug (1) and filler cap
(2).
3) Tighten the oil drain plug (1) to the specified torque,
and pour new oil through the oil filler. When
performing an oil change (without oil filter
replacement), the engine will hold about 3.3 L of oil.
Use of SF/SG or SH/SJ in API with MA in JASO.
Tightening torque
Oil drain plug (a): 23 N·m (2.3 kgf-m, 16.5 lb-ft)
4) Start up the engine and allow it to run for several
minutes at idling speed.
5) Turn off the engine and wait about three minutes,
then check the oil level through the inspection
window (3). If the level is below the “L” mark, add oil
to the “F” mark. If the level is above the “F” mark,
drain the oil until the level reaches the “F” mark.
Oil Filter Replacement

replacement procedure.
