Maintenance
Engine Oil and Filter Change
7. Place a drain pan or shop towels under the oil filter. Using an oil filter wrench, turn the
filter counter-clockwise to remove it.
8. Using a clean dry cloth, clean the filter sealing surface on the engine.
9. Lubricate the o-ring on the new filter with a film of fresh engine oil. Check to make sure
the o-ring is in good condition.
10. Install the new filter and rotate it clockwise by hand until the filter gasket contacts the
sealing surface, then turn it an additional 3/4 to one full turn.
11. Remove the dipstick. Using a funnel, add 3-4 qts. (2.8-3.8 L) of the recommended oil.
Reinstall the dipstick securely.
12. With the motorcycle in an upright, centered position, start the engine and allow it to idle
for 30 seconds. Stop the engine.
13. Add the recommended oil as needed to bring the level to the FULL mark on the dipstick.
Verify the level on the dipstick.
Tip: The approximate volume between the ADD and FULL marks on the dipstick is 16 oz. (.45 L).
14. Reinstall the dipstick securely.
NOTICE: Do not overfill. Overfilling can result in loss of engine performance and an oil-saturated air
filter. Use a suction device to remove excess oil if overfilled.
15. Dispose of used filter and oil properly.
NOTICE: After an oil change, the low oil pressure indicator may illuminate when the engine is started.
If this occurs, do not increase RPM above idle speed until the indicator turns off. Operating
above idle speed could result in damage to the engine.
