Warning
If the engine has recently been
running, the exhaust system will be
hot.
Before working on or near the exhaust
system, allow sufficient time for the
exhaust system to cool as touching
any part of a hot exhaust system
could cause burn injuries.
The engine oil and filter must be
renewed in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.
To change the engine oil and filter:
• Warm up the engine thoroughly
then stop the engine. Secure the
motorcycle on the side stand.
• Allow the engine oil to settle for five
minutes before draining.
• Place an oil drain pan beneath the
engine.
