Checking Oil Level
As proper engine lubrication is essential to engine
effi
ciency and durability, we recommend that you check
the oil level frequently between regular service intervals.
Checking the engine oil at every refueling stop is a habit
that will help ensure long engine life.
Th e oil should be checked and topped off only when the
engine is at normal operating temperature. If the engine
is not at normal operating temperature, the motorcycle
should be ridden until the engine reaches that stage.
When the engine is suffi
ciently warmed up, turn the
engine off to check the oil level
WARNING!
In order to
avoid possible
serious burns
or injury,
use extreme
caution in
conducting
checks when
the engine is
warm or hot.
Th e Chief engine oil tank and fi ller plug are located
on the right side of the motorcycle, below the starter.
To check the engine oil level:
1. Place the motorcycle in an upright and level
position.
2. Remove the fi ller plug from the oil tank fi ller
spout.
3. Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth.
4. Insert the dipstick fully into the oil tank.
5. Remove the dipstick and observe the oil level.
6. Th
e oil level should show on the dipstick but
below the mark on the dipstick ( See Figure 21).
7. If the oil level is low, carefully add Indian®
20w-50SG oil to the oil tank
CAUTION!
Do not allow the hot oil level to fall below the low
level mark on the dipstick. Do not overfi ll the oil tank
as this may cause oil to overfl ow into the air fi lter and
the engine crankcase breather fi lter.
Th e engine oil should be changed after the fi rst 500
miles (800 km) and at 2500 mile (4025 km) intervals
thereafter when riding under normal conditions. In
severe or adverse conditions, change the engine oil
more frequently. Change the oil only when the engine
is at normal operating temperature. Change the oil
fi lter every time the engine oil is changed.
