CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
1. Stand the vehicle on a level surface.
NOTE:
• Place the vehicle on the centerstand.
• Make sure the vehicle is upright.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several min-
utes, and then turn it off.
3. Check:
• Engine oil level
The engine oil level should be between the
minimum level mark “a” and maximum level
mark “b”.
Below the minimum level mark
→
Add the
recommended engine oil to the proper level.
CAUTION:
EC3P61036
• Engine oil also lubricates the clutch and the
wrong oil types or additives could cause
clutch slippage. Therefore, do not add any
chemical additives or use engine oils with a
grade of CD “a” or higher and do not use
oils labeled “ENERGY CONSERVING II”
“b”.
• Do not allow foreign materials to enter the
crankcase.
NOTE:
Before checking the engine oil level, wait a few
minutes until the oil has settled.
4. Start the engine, warm it up for several min-
utes, and then turn it off.
5. Check the engine oil level again.
NOTE:
Before checking the engine oil level, wait a few
minutes until the oil has settled.
