ENGINE OIL
Long engine life depends much on the
selection of quality oil and the periodic
changing of the oil.
Daily oil level checks and periodic
changes are two of the most important
maintenances to be performed.
⊙ ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK
Follow the procedure below to inspect the
engine oil level.
1. Start the engine and run it for a few
minutes.
2. Stop the engine and wait three minutes.
WARNING
The engine and the components of the
exhaust system become very hot and
remain hot for some time after the
engine has been stopped. Before
handling these components, wear
insulating gloves or wait until the
engine and the exhaust system have
cooled down.
3. Hold the motorcycle vertically.
N O T E
Position the motorcycle on firm and flat
ground.
4. Inspect the engine oil level through the
engine oil level lens on the right side on
the engine.
N O T E
Engine oil expands and oil level
increases when the engine oil is hot.
Check and adjust engine oil level when
the engine oil is not hot.
Be sure to use the engine oil specified
in the FUEL, ENGINE OIL AND ENGINE
COOLANT RECOMMENDATION
section.
Operating the motorcycle with an
incorrect amount of engine oil can
damage your motorcycle.

damage your engine.

Check the engine oil level with the
engine oil level lens before each use of
