Engine Oil - Can-Am SPYDER F3TM 2016 Operator's Manual

WEAR CONDITION
Opened cracks
Hook wear
Missing teeth
Belt fabric worn,
exposing internal
components
Stone damage
NOTE: Hairline cracks do not require
the replacement of the belt, but must
be monitored closely — they may lead
to opened cracks or missing teeth, re-
quiring belt replacement. Damage to
the center of the belt will eventually
require belt replacement, but when
cracks extend to the edge of the belt,
belt failure is imminent.
When a drive belt is replaced, also re-
place the sprockets to increase the
longevity of the new drive belt.
Drive Belt Tension
While riding, if you feel vibrations in the
belt or if the belt is skipping sprocket
teeth, have the belt tension adjusted
as soon as possible by an authorized
Can-Am roadster dealer.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

Engine Oil

Recommended Engine Oil
The same oil is used for the engine,
gearbox, clutch, and the Hydraulic Con-
trol Module (HCM) on the SE6 model.
NOTICE
Do not use engine oil
which is not designed specifically
for motorcycle application (wet
clutch). Automotive application oils
contain friction modifiers which can
lead to clutch slippage.
Use the XPS 4-STROKE SYNTH.
BLEND OIL (P/N 293 600 121) or a a
5W40 semi-synthetic or synthetic oil
certified JASO-MA may be used as an
alternative to the recommended oil..
Always check the API service label on
the oil container.
NOTICE
Do not add any oil addi-
tives to the recommended oil. This
may lead to gearbox and clutch mal-
functions.
Engine Oil Level Verification
In order to perform the engine oil level
verification, the engine must be at nor-
mal operating temperature.
1. Take a ride of at least 15 km (9 mi).
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
3. Let the engine idle for 10 minutes.
WARNING
Exhaust gas contains poisonous
carbon monoxide that can rapidly
accumulate in an enclosed or
poorly ventilated area. If inhaled,
it can cause serious injury or
death. Only run the engine in an
unenclosed, well ventilated area.
NOTICE
Adjusting the oil level on
a cold engine will result in overfill-
ing.
4. Stop engine.
