ENGINE OIL
In order for the engine, transmission, and
clutch to function correctly, maintain the
engine oil at the correct level, and change
the oil and oil filter in accordance with
scheduled maintenance requirements.
WARNING:
Motorcycle
operation with insufficient,
deteriorated, or contaminated engine
oil will cause accelerated engine wear
and may result in engine or
transmission seizure. Seizure of the
engine or transmission may lead to
loss of control and an accident.
Oil Level Inspection
•
Stop engine, then wait for at least
10 minutes to allow the oil to settle.
•
Remove the filler plug/dipstick, wipe
the dipstick clean and screw the plug
fully home in the clutch cover.
NOTE:
•
The actual level is indicated when
the motorcycle is upright, (not on
the side stand) and when the filler
plug/dipstick has been screwed
fully home.
•
Remove the filler plug/dipstick.
•
The oil level is indicated by hash
marks on the filler plug/dipstick.
When full, the indicated oil level must
be level with the top of the hash
marked area.
•
If the oil level is too low, add oil a little
at a time through the dipstick/filler
hole until the correct level is reached.
•
Once the correct level is reached, fit
and
fully
tighten
the
filler
plug/dipstick.
