ECAM1060CAUTION:
The engine oil tank must be filled in
2 steps. First, fill the engine oil tank
with 1.90 L (2.0 US qt) (1.67 Imp.qt)
of the recommended engine oil.
Then, start the engine, race it 5 or 6
times, turn it off, and then add the
remainder of the engine oil.
NOTE:
Be sure to wipe off spilled oil on any
parts after the engine and exhaust
system have cooled down.
ECA11620CAUTION: In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel speci-
fication of “CD” or oils of a
higher quality than specified. In
addition, do not use oils la-
beled “ENERGY CONSERVING
II” or higher.
Make sure that no foreign ma-
terial enters the crankcase.
14. Start the engine, and then let it idle for several minutes while
checking it for oil leakage. If oil is
leaking, immediately turn the en-
gine off and check for the cause.
15. Turn the engine off, and then check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
16. Install the engine guard by in- stalling the screws.

Coolant
The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the
coolant must be changed at the inter-
vals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
EAU20253
To check the coolant level1. Place the vehicle on a level sur- face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
NOTE:
The coolant level must be
checked on a cold engine since
the level varies with engine tem-
perature.
Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to the
side can result in a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir.
