TRANSMISSION FLUID
Replace transmission fluid:
At the 1000 mile (1600 km) service interval.
At every 5000 mile (8000 km) service interval.
Transmission fluid capacity is approximately 1.0 quart
(0.95 liter). For best results, drain fluid while hot.

sidestand) to prevent chaincase lubricant from draining
out of clutch cover opening when refilled.

drain plug. Remove plug and drain fluid.
3. Wipe any foreign material from the magnetic drain plug.
Reinstall plug and tighten to 14-30 ft-lbs (19-40.7 Nm).
4. Remove three fasteners and washers from clutch inspec-
tion cover. Remove clutch inspection cover with gasket
from primary cover.
CAUTION
Do not overfill the transmission with fluid. Overfilling
may cause rough clutch engagement and incomplete dis-
engagement, clutch drag and/or difficulty finding neutral
at engine idle.

ing three fasteners and washers to 84-108 in-lbs (10-
