Engine oilOil level inspection
1. Place the motorcycle on a level
place. Warm up the engine at idle
for 15 minutes.NOTE:@ Be sure the motorcycle is positioned
straight up when checking the oil level.
A slight tilt toward the side can result in
false readings. @
2. The oil tank is located behind the
engine cylinders. With the engine
stopped, check the oil level
through the level window located
on the right side of the oil tank.
3. The oil level should be between
the maximum and minimum
marks. If the level is low, fill engine
with sufficient oil to raise it to the
specified level.Engine oil and oil filter element re-
placement

utes.
2. Stop the engine. Place an oil pan
under the engine and remove the
oil filler cap.
3. Remove the drain bolts and drain
the oil.
4. Remove the oil filter cover bolts
and oil filter.

CAUTION:Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-friction
modifiers. Passenger car motor oils (often labeled
“Energy Conserving”) contain anti-friction additives which
will cause clutch and/or starter clutch slippage, resulting in
reduced component life and poor engine performance.
