for oil leakage before each ride. If any

changed at the intervals specified in

tion chart.
1. Place the motorcycle on the cen-
terstand.
2. Place an oil pan under the trans-
mission to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the transmission oil filler
cap, the transmission oil drain bolt
and its gasket to drain the oil from
the transmission.
4. Install the transmission oil drain
bolt and its new gasket, and then
tighten the bolt to the specified
torque.
5. Refill with the specified amount of
the recommended transmission
oil, and then install and tighten the
oil filler cap.
