Engine oil and oil filter element

The engine oil level should be checked before
each ride. In addition, the oil must be changed
and the oil filter element replaced at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance and lubri-
cation chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Start the engine, warm it up until the
engine oil has reached a normal tempera-
ture of 60 ° C (141 ° F), let it continue to
idle for ten seconds or more, and then turn
the engine off.
NOTE:
To achieve the proper engine oil temperature for
an accurate oil level reading, the engine must
have first completely cooled down, and then
warmed up again for several minutes to normal
operating temperature.
3. Remove the engine oil tank filler cap, wipe
the dipstick clean with a clean rag, insert it
back into the filler hole (without screwing it
in), and then remove it again to check the
oil level.
