ENGINE OIL
Long engine life depends much on
the selection of a quality oil and the
periodic changing of the oil. Daily oil
level checks and periodic changes
are two of the most important mainte-
nance items to be performed.

the engine oil level.
1. Start the engine and run it for

NOTICE
Operating the motorcycle with too
little or too much oil can damage
the engine.
Place the motorcycle on level
ground. Check the oil level with
the engine oil inspection window
before each use of the vehicle. Be
sure the engine oil level is always
above the “L” (low) line and not
higher than the “F” (full) line.
