ENGINE OIL AND FILTER

Refer to Maintenance Precautions on page 56.
Engine oil quality is the chief factor affecting engine service
life. Change the engine oil as specified in the maintenance
schedule on page 51.
CAUTION
• 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 oil on a daily basis, it is
still advisable to thoroughly wash your hands with soap
and water as soon as possible after handling used oil.
NOTE
• Please dispose of used engine oil in a manner that is compatible
with the enviroment. We suggest you take it in a
sealed container to your local service station for reclamation. Do
not throw it in the trash or pour it on the ground.
• Change the engine oil with the engine at normal operating
temperature and the motorcycle on its center stand to
assure complete and rapid draining.
To drain the oil:
1. Remove the step holder cover, (pages 57, 60), the oil filler
cap and drain bolt.
