Oil level checking

If the oil level is low, or too high, the life
of the engine will be shortened signifi-
cantly.
1. Place the engine in a vertical position.

2. Remove the top cowl.

3. Remove the dipstick.

4. Wipe oil off the dipstick with a clean

cloth.

5. Insert the dipstick to the hole com-

pletely.

6. Remove the dipstick again and check

the oil level.

7. Return the dipstick.

ENON00024-0

Note

The oil level should be checked when the
engine is cooled.

ENON00025-0

Note

Consult with an authorized dealer if the
engine oil is milky color, or appears con-
taminated.

ENOM00082-A

Engine oil replenishing

ENOW00079-A

z

Do not add engine oil of brand and grade
other than existing one. In case engine oil
of other brand or grade is added, drain all
oil and ask dealer for treatment.

z

In case other than engine oil such as gas-
oline is put in the oil chamber, empty the
chamber and ask dealer for treatment.

z

When  replenishing  engine  oil,  be  careful
not to allow entry of foreign matters such
as dust and water into oil chamber.

z

Wipe off engine oil well immediately if
spilled and dispose of it in accordance
with local fire prevention and environ-
ment protection regulations.

z

Do not replenish engine oil over upper
limit. If overfilled, remove oil to upper
limit. If engine oil is over the upper limit,
it can leak potentially leading to engine
damage.

If the oil level is low, or at lowest mark,
add recommended oil to the middle
dipstick mark.
