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
sudden loss of control and an accident.
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.
Oil Level Inspection

Always operate your motorcycle in the

ventilation.
Caution
Running the engine with insufficient oil
will cause engine damage. If the low oil
