Engine oil
The engine oil level should be checked before
each ride. In addition, the oil must be changed
at the intervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
Engine oil level measurement
1. Place the machine on a level surface.
2. Warm up the engine for several minutes and
stop it.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil level settles,
remove the oil filler cap, wipe off the dipstick
clean. Insert the dipstick in the filler hole
without screwing it in.
NOTE:
Wait a few minutes until the oil level settles
before checking.
4. Remove the dipstick and inspect the oil
level.
5. The oil level should be between the maxi-
mum and minimum marks. If the level is low,
add oil to raise it to the proper level.
