Engine oil and oil filter
element The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter ele-
ment replaced at the intervals specified
in the periodic maintenance and lubri-
cation chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the motorcycle on a level
surface and hold it in an upright
position.NOTE:@ Make sure that the motorcycle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking the oil
level. A slight tilt to the side can result in
a false reading. @2. Start the engine, warm it up for
15 minutes, and then turn it off.3. Check the oil level through the
check window located on the right
side of the engine oil tank.
NOTE:@ l
The engine oil tank is located be-
hind the cylinders.
l
The engine oil should be between
the minimum and maximum level
marks.
@4. If the engine oil is below the mini-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.To change the engine oil (with or
without oil filter element replace-
ment)
1. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
2. Place an oil pan under the engine
to collect the used oil.1. Engine oil level check window

and drain bolts to drain the oil from
the crankcase.
NOTE:@ Skip steps 4–6 if the oil filter element is
not being replaced. @
4. Remove the oil filter element cover
by removing the bolts.5. Remove and replace the oil filter
element and O-rings.
6. Install the oil filter element cover
by installing the bolts, then tighten-
ing them to the specified torque.
NOTE:@ Make sure that the O-rings are properly
seated.@7. Install the engine oil drain bolts,
and then tighten them to the spec-
ified torques.

68. Add the specified amount of the
recommended engine oil, and
then install and tighten the oil tank
cap.
EC000072
CAUTION:@ l
In 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
CONSERVING II” or higher.
l
Make sure that no foreign mate-
rial 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.
EAU03495
Coolant The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
If the engine overheats, see page 6-45
for further instructions.
To check the coolant level
1. Place the motorcycle on a level
surface and hold it in an upright
position.NOTE:@ l
The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.
l
Make sure that the motorcycle is
positioned straight up when
checking the coolant level. A slight
tilt to the side can result in a false
reading.

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