Engine oil and oil filter cartridge

The engine oil level should be
checked before each ride. In addition,
the oil must be changed and the oil
filter cartridge replaced at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level
surface and hold it in an upright
position. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2.
Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil

settles, and then check the oil level
through the check window located

The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
