ral 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. Stop the engine and wait for a few
minutes. 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. @
3. The oil level should be between
the maximum and minimum
marks. If the level is low, fill the en-
gine with sufficient recommended
oil to reach the specified level.Engine oil and oil filter cartridge re-

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.
