Engine Oil

Engine Oil Level Check
Check the engine oil level each day before operating
the motorcycle.
The oil fill cap/dipstick (1) is at the rear of the right
crankcase cover and contains a dipstick for measuring
the oil level. Oil level must be maintained between
the upper (2) and lower (3) level marks on the oil
fill cap/dipstick.
1. Hold the motorcycle upright on firm level ground.
2. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 – 5 minutes.
3. Stop the engine. After 2 – 3 minutes, remove the
oil fill cap/dipstick, wipe it clean, and reinsert the
oil fill cap/dipstick without screwing it in. Remove
the oil fill cap/dipstick. The oil level should be
between the upper and lower level marks on the
oil fill cap/dipstick.
4. If required, add the specified oil (see page 49) up
to the upper level mark. Do not overfill.
5. Reinstall the oil fill cap/dipstick. Check for oil leaks.
NOTICE
Running the engine with insufficient oil can cause
serious engine damage.
