has reached normal operating temperature and proceed
as follows:
Position the motorcycle upright and level. The oil drain is
located at the rear of the oil tank (refer to illustration on
following page). Remove the threaded drain plug and allow
oil to drain completely. Once the oil has drained clean
debris from the drain plug and reinstall. Do not drain the
crankcase. Remove the oil filter; clean the gasket contact
surface on the oil filter-mounting bracket. Apply a thin film
of clean motor oil to the oil filter gasket and mounting
bracket surface. Screw the filter onto the mounting bracket
using only moderate hand pressure. Do not over tighten.
With the oil drain securely in place, fill the tank to the
proper level.
TAPPET OIL FILTER SCREEN:
the tappet lifter oil filter
screen is located in the crankcase above the oil pump. The
removal and cleaning of the oil filter screen should take
place every service interval or if there is abnormal lifter
noise. Use caution when cleaning not to damage the filter
screen when removing. There is a spring under the filter
screen cap to hold the filter screen in place. Take care
when removing that you retain the spring to reinstall with
the filter screen or the filter screen will not be able to
perform its function.
HYDRAULIC LIFTER OIL FILTER LOCATION
WINTER LUBRICATION:
The oil change interval in
winter should be shorter than normal if the motorcycle is
used only for short runs. The oil should be drained frequently
along with a thorough tank flush with fresh oil before new
oil is put in the tank.
