Engine Oil Level Check
FULL
LOW
Check the engine oil level with the
engine oil dipstick. The dipstick comes
out together with the engine oil filler cap
as shown. The level found in the dip-
stick should be between "L" (low) and
"F" (full) lines.
The engine oil level inspection should
be performed under the following condi-
tions:
1. Place the motorcycle on level
ground on the side stand.
2. Start the engine and allow it to idle
for a few minutes.
3. Stop the engine and wait for three
minutes.
4. Hold the motorcycle vertically and
check the engine oil level. The filler
cap threads should not be run in
but just touching the filler hole
upper edge.
CAUTION
The engine oil level must be between the
"L" (Low) line and "F" (Full) line, or engine
damage may occur.
Check the oil level with the dipstick, with
the motorcycle held vertically on level
ground before each use of the motorcycle.
