replace any blown fuses. P. 205

Inspecting and Replacing Fuses
Turn the ignition switch OFF to remove and
inspect fuses. If a fuse is blown, replace
with a fuse of the same rating. For fuse
ratings, see "Specifications."
Blown fuse
NOTICE
Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher rating
greatly increases the chance of damage to the electrical
system.
If a fuse fails repeatedly, you likely have an
electrical fault. Have your motorcycle
inspected by your dealer.

Engine Oil

Engine oil consumption varies and oil quality
deteriorates according to riding conditions
and time elapsed.
Check the engine oil level regularly, and add
the recommended engine oil if necessary.
Dirty oil or old oil should be changed as soon
as possible.
