Periodic maintenance and adjustment

Engine oil and oil strainer

The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil strainer
cleaned at the intervals speci ed in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set-
tles, remove the oil ller cap, wipe
the dipstick clean, insert it back
into the oil ller hole (without
screwing it in), and then remove it
again to check the oil level.
WARNING
The muf er and muf er protector
become very hot during use. To
avoid possible burns, let the muf er
and protector cool before removing
the oil ller cap.
