Engine oil and
element
The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter ele-
ment cleaned at the intervals specified
in the General maintenance and lubri-
cation chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
NOTE:
Make sure that the vehicle is positioned
straight up when checking the oil level.
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, and then check the oil level
through the check window located
at the bottom right side of the en-
gine guard.
