Engine Oil
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 motorcycle
control and an accident.
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.
Engine Oil Level Inspection
Warning
Never start the engine or run the
engine in a confined area.
Exhaust fumes are poisonous and can
cause loss of consciousness and death
within a short period of time.
Always operate the motorcycle in the
open air or in an area with adequate
ventilation.
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.
Caution
Never check or adjust the engine oil
when the engine is hot.
Any attempt to check or adjust the
engine oil when the engine is hot may
result in insufficient engine oil causing
engine damage.
Always check or adjust the engine oil
when the engine is cold.
Caution
Running the engine with insufficient
engine oil will cause engine damage.
If the low oil pressure indicator
remains on, stop the engine
immediately and investigate the
situation.
