TRANSMISSION OIL
After a long period of use, the transmis-
sion oil qualities will deteriorate and quicken
the wear of sliding and interlocking sur-
gaces.
◉ ◉ TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL CHECK
Inspect the transmission oil, after first run-
ning 1,000 km and every running 8,000 km.
Follow the procedure below to inspect the
transmission oil level.
1. Hold the motorcycle vertically.
N O T E
Position the vehicle on firm and flat
ground.
WARNING
The engine and the components of
the exhaust system become very hot
and remain hot for some time after the
engine has been stopped. Before han-
dling these components, wear insulat-
ing gloves or wait until the engine and
the exhaust system have cooled
down.
2. Stop the engine.

3. Remove the transmission oil level bolt ① .
4. Check the transmission oil level through
the transmission oil level bolt.
The level found should be the lower end
of the transmission oil level bolt hole.
If the transmission oil level is insufficient,
add fresh transmission oil until the oil
level reaches the transmission oil level
bolt hole.
If the transmission oil is polluted, change
the new transmission oil.
WARNING
Do not use the motorcycle with insuf-
ficient lubrication or with contaminat-
ed or unsuitable lubricants, since this
would cause early wear of the moving
parts and may also cause irreparable
failures.
