ENGINE OIL
Using proper oil, and regularly checking, adding and changing oil will help extend the service life of your
engine. Even the best oil wears out and becomes thinner. Changing oil helps get rid of dirt and deposits in
the engine. Operating the engine with old or dirty oil may and may damage your engine. Running the
engine with not enough oil can cause serious damage to your engine.
The chart below indicates oil for regular air temperatures. Please see the oil/air temperature chart to help
you choose the best oil for your climate.

Your motorcycle does not need oil additives. ONLY use the recommended oil. DO NOT use oil with graphite or
molybdenum additives, they may adversely affect the clutch operation. DO NOT use motor oils that display the API
circular logo that is labeled "energy conserving", they may affect the lubrication and clutch performance.
CHECKING & ADDING OIL
Fig. 1
I. Start and run the engine at idle for 3-5 minutes, then
stop it.
2. Wait about 2-3 minutes to allow the oil to properly
distribute itself in the engine.
3. Stand the motorcycle on a support stand so that it is not
leaning to either the right or left.
4. Remove the oil filler cap
O,
wipe it clean, and insert it
back in to its place but DO NOT screw it back in.
5. Check that the oil level is within the (1) & (2) hash-marks
on the dip stick as in Fig. 1
6. If the oil level is at or near the upper mark (1), you do
not need to add oil.
7. If the oil level is at or near the lower mark (2), you need
to add oil.
8. Add the recommended oil until the upper mark (1), is
reached. (DO NOT OVERFILL)
9. Repeat steps 1 through 5.
10. Reinstall the dipstick and check for any leaks.

BRAKEING SYSTEM Cont.
Hydraulic disc brake systems use a brake caliper to squeeze the rotors (brake disc) which causes the
motorcycle to stop. inside the brake caliper are brake pads. The brake pads are the part of the brake system
that makes contact with the brake rotor. The pads must be checked in accordance with the maintenance
schedule for the brake system as described on page(s) 31, 32, 33. Follow the procedure below to check the
brake pad wear.
BRAKE PAD WEAR
I. Inspect the brake pads Oat each maintenance interval.
(more frequently if you do a lot of riding)
2.
3.
If the pads are worn down to a thickness of 1 mm, both
pads need to be replaced. (Never replace only one pad).
If you find that both pads on either front or rear caliper
are not wearing down evenly, you may need to replace
the brake pads. If one side has worn down more
extensive than the other, consult your Crossfire
M
otorcycles dealer
for a possible bad brake caliper.
min.
4. If you are unsure how to replace the brake pads, please contact your nearest Crossfire
M
otorcycles dealer for
1 mm
assistance, or schedule your motorcycle for servicing.
BLEEDING THE BRAKE SYSTEM
Because the brake system utilizes fluid, any air bubbles inside the brake system will cause you to lose
braking efficiency. Air generally enters the brake system when the motorcycle sits unused for long periods
of time. Air will also enter the system if you have a leaking brake hose, brake caliper or master cylinder. A
brake system with air will cause the brake lever and pedal to feel soft and spongy. Use the procedure below
to bleed air from both the front and rear brake system.
USE ONL V DOT 4 BRAKE FLUID
.
BRAKE BLEEDING PROCEDURE
I. Clean all dust and dirt from the master cylinder and
remove the master cylinder cap.
2. Pump the brake lever or pedal slowly and firmly 4-6
times and then hold it.
3. Using an 8mm wrench, loosen. the bleeder valve
O
located on the brake caliper. You will see brake fluid,
and possibly some air bubbles exit out the bleeder valve.
4. Tighten O the bleeder valve and then release the lever
or pedal slowly.
5. Repeat steps I -4 until all air bubbles have stopped
flowing from the bleeder valve. The lever/pedal should
feel hard and firm when you are complete.
