Engine Oil and Filter

Engine oil quality is the chief factor
affecting engine service life. Change the
engine oil as specified in the maintenance
schedule (page 71 ).
When running in very dusty conditions, oil
changes should be perf ormed more

Please dispose of used engine oil in a
manner that is compatible with the
environment. We suggest you take it in a
sealed container to your local recycling
center or service station for reclamation. Do
not throw it in the trash or pour it on the
ground or down a drain.
Used engine oil may cause skin cancer if
repeatedly left in contact with the skin for
prolonged periods. Although this is unlikely
unless you handle used oil on a daily basis,
it is still advisable to thoroughly wash your
hands with soap and water as soon as possi-
ble after handling used oil.
Changing the oil filter requires a torque
wrench. If you do not have it and the
necessary skill, we recommend that you
have your dealer perform this service.
If a torque wrench is not used for this
installation, see your dealer as soon as
possible to verify proper assembly.
Change the engine oil with the engine at
normal operating temperature and the
motorcycle on its side stand to assure
complete and rapid draining.
