●
In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the transmission oil
also lubricates the clutch), do
not mix any chemical additives.
Do not use oils with a diesel
specification of “CD” or oils of a
higher quality than specified. In
addition, do not use oils labeled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
higher.
●
Make sure that no foreign mate-
rial enters the transmission.
7. Start the engine, and then let it idle
for several minutes while checking
the transmission for oil leakage. If
oil is leaking, immediately turn the
engine off and check for the cause.

Coolant
The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAUM1294
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
2. Remove the radiator cap and
check the coolant level in the radi-
ator.
WARNING! Never attempt
to remove the radiator cap when
the engine is hot.
[EWA10381]
TIP
●
The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.
●
Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to the
side can result in a false reading.
TIP
The coolant should be at the bottom of
the radiator filler neck. The level will
change with variation of engine temper-
ature.
3. If the coolant is below this level,
add coolant, and then install the
radiator cap.
