Pre-Ride Inspections
Engine Oil Level
Polaris recommends the use of only VICTORY Semi-Synthetic 20W-40 oil, Synthetic 15W-
60 oil or an equivalent oil designed for use with wet clutches (such as those with a JASO MA
rating).
The oil fill cap/dipstick is located on the right
side of the vehicle.
NOTICE: Operating the engine with too much or
too little oil can cause serious engine
damage or engine seizure, which could
result in loss of control and serious injury
or death. Do not operate the motorcycle
with the oil level above the FULL mark or
below the ADD mark.
Tip: The engine must be at normal operating
temperature when checking the oil level.
1. Place the transmission in neutral. Start the
engine and allow it to idle for several
minutes.
2. Stop the engine and wait 3-5 minutes
before checking the oil level.
3. On level ground, straddle the motorcycle
and bring it to the fully upright position.
4. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe it clean. Reinstall the dipstick and turn the cap
clockwise until it seats.
5. Remove the dipstick and view the oil level. Add or remove oil as needed to bring the
level into safe operating range (between the FULL and ADD marks) on the dipstick.
6. Repeat steps 1 and 2 each time you adjust the oil level.
