In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the transmission
oil also lubricates the clutch),
do not mix any chemical addi-
tives with the oil.

Make sure that no foreign
material enters the transmis-
sion.
6. Start the engine, and then let it
idle for several minutes while
checking the transmission for oil
leakage. If oil is leaking, immedi-
ately turn off the engine and
check for the cause.

Coolant
To check the coolant level
1. Place the motorcycle on a level
surface and hold it in an upright
position.
NOTE:
8
The coolant level must be
checked on a cold engine since
the level varies with engine tem-
perature.
8
Make sure that the motorcycle is
positioned straight up when
checking the coolant level. A
slight tilt to the side can result in
a false reading.
2. Remove panel A. (See page 6-8
for panel removal and installation
procedures.)
3. Check the coolant level in the
coolant reservoir.
NOTE:
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
