Maintenance and Adjustment
Engine Oil
In order for the engine, transmission, and
clutch to function correctly, maintain the
engine oil at the correct level, and change the
oil and oil filter in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.
Oil Level Inspection
1. Oil tank
2. Oil tank cap
3. Dipstick
4. Maximum mark
5. Minimum mark
Warning
Motorcycle operation with insufficient,
deteriorated, or contaminated engine oil
will cause accelerated engine wear and
may result in engine or transmission
seizure. Seizure of the engine or
transmission may lead to sudden loss of
control and an accident.
Caution
If the engine has not been run for a period
of time (greater than 2 hours), the engine
must be started and allowed to idle briefly
then turned off and left for 10 minutes
before checking the oil level.
This will ensure an accurate level of oil
measured on the dipstick.
Caution
Ensure no foreign matter or contamination
enters the oil tank during an oil change or
top-up. Contamination entering the oil
tank may lead to engine damage.
