ENGINE OIL INSPECTION AND CHANGE
INSPECTION:
1. Use the main parking stand to support the scooter on a level ground, remove the dipstick after engine
stopped for 3~5 minutes. Wipe oil off the dipstick first, and then insert it into the guide tube again (Do
not run the engine.)
2. Remove the dipstick and check whether oil level is in between the upper and lower marks.
Add oil to upper limit if oil is under the lower limit. (Check cylinder, crankcase…etc for leakage.)
OIL CHANGE:
Change engine oil after the first 1,000km, and change the engine
oil every 5,000km thereafter. Clean oil filter after the first 1,000km,
and then clean the oil filter every 10,000km.
In order to maintain the engine’s maximum performance, check
whether the engine oil is enough at every 1,000km. Add oil to
upper limit if the engine oil has been found to be inadequate.
Engine Oil : Use API SJ, SAE 10W-40 grade or better engine oil.
Otherwise, damage will not be covered by warranty.
