Check Engine Oil Level - Victory Motorcycles Hammer 2005 Owner's Manual

PRE-OPERATION CHECK

Check Engine Oil Level

A dipstick attached to the oil fill cap registers the engine oil level.
We recommend the use of only VICTORY brand Semi-Synthetic
20W-40 Motor Oil or equivalent.
1. With the transmission in neutral, start and run the engine for
several minutes.
2. Shut the engine off and wait for 3-5 minutes.
3. With the engine at normal operating temperature, straddle the
motorcycle on level ground and bring it to a vertical position.
Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick (1) and wipe it clean. Reinstall
the dipstick and turn the cap clockwise until it seats.
4. Remove the dipstick again and read the oil level.
5. If necessary, add or remove oil to bring the level into the area
on the dipstick above the ADD mark and below the FULL
mark. Repeat steps 1 and 2 each time you adjust the oil level.
WARNING
Do not operate the motorcycle with the oil level above the FULL mark or below the ADD mark.
Operating the engine with too much or too little oil can cause serious engine damage or engine
seizure, resulting in loss of control.
