8In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives
with the oil or use oils of a
higher grade than “CD”. In
addition, do not use oils
labeled “ENERGY CONSERV-
ING II” or higher.
8Make sure that no foreign
material enters the crankcase.
9. Start the engine, and then let it
idle for several minutes while
checking it for oil leakage. If oil is
leaking, immediately turn the
engine off and check for the
cause.
10. Turn the engine off, and then
check the oil level and correct it if
necessary. Recommended oil:
See page 8-1.
Oil quantity:
With oil filter element
replacement:
1.6 L
Without oil filter element
replacement:
1.4 L
Total amount (dry engine):
1.75 L

Cleaning the air filter
element
The air filter element should be
cleaned at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart. Clean the air filter element
more frequently if you are riding in
unusually wet or dusty areas.
1. Remove the air filter case by
removing the bolts and loosening
the clamp screw.

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.
