NOTE:
• The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based maintenance is per-
formed instead.
• From 50,000 km, repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 10,000 km.
• The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
• Hydraulic brake system:
• Check the brake fluid level regularly and fill as required.
• Replace the oil seals on the inner parts of the master cylinder and caliper cylinder every two years.
• Replace the brake hoses every four years or if cracked or damaged.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK
ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK
Do not put additives into the engine oil. The
latter also lubricates the clutch and additives
might cause it to slide.
WARNING
Never remove the oil tank cap when the
engine is hot. The boiling oil might spill over,
causing burns. Wait for the oil to cool to at
least 60°C (140°F) or thereabouts.
This model is fitted with a dry crankcase lubrica-
tion system. A feed pump delivers oil to the en-
gine; after fully lubricating the latter, the oil is re-
turned to the tank by a scavenge pump. The oil
level must therefore be checked in the oil tank.
1. Start the engine and warm up until the oil tem-
perature rises to approximately 60°C (140°F).
2. Idle the engine for at least 10 seconds while
keeping the motorcycle upright. After stop the
engine and check the oil level through the
level window (3) located on the left side of the
oil tank assy and(or) by oil level gauge.
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.
3. The oil level should be between the maximum
(1) and minimum (2) marks.
CAUTION:
