9Owners are personally responsible for their vehicle’s condition. Your motorcycle’s vital functions can start to
deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly, even if it remains unused (for instance, if it is exposed to the elements).
Any damage, fluid leak or loss of tire pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important
that, in addition to a thorough visual inspection, you check the following points before each ride.

6 break down and erode. If electrode
erosion becomes excessive, or if
carbon and other deposits are
excessive, you should replace the
spark plug with the specified plug.
Before installing the spark plug,
measure the electrode gap with a
wire thickness gauge; adjust the
gap to specification as necessary.
When installing the plug, always
clean the gasket surface and use a
new gasket. Wipe off any grime
from the threads and tighten the
spark plug to the specified torque.Specified spark plug:
DR8EA (NGK) or
X24ESR-U (DENSO)Spark plug gap:
0.6 ~ 0.7 mm
Tightening torque:
Spark plug:
17.5 Nm (1.75 m0kg)
NOTE:
If a torque wrench is not available
when you are installing a spark
plug, a good estimate of the cor-
rect torque is 1/4 to 1/2 turn past
finger tight. Have the spark plug
tightened to the specified torque as
soon as possible.EAU00517Engine oil
1. Oil level measurement
a. Place the motorcycle on a level
place and hold it in an upright
position. Warm up the engine
for several minutes.
NOTE:
Be sure the motorcycle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the oil level. A slight tilt toward the
side can result in false readings.

b. With the engine stopped,
check the oil level through the
level window located at the
lower part of the right side
crankcase cover.
NOTE:
Wait a few minutes until the oil
level settles before checking.
c. The oil level should be
between the maximum and
minimum marks. If the level is
low, add sufficient oil to raise
it to the proper level.
