Transmission oil
The transmission oil level should be
checked before each ride. In addition,
the oil must be changed at the inter-
vals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
To check the transmission oil level
1. Transmission oil filler cap
2. Transmission oil check bolt
1. Remove cowling A. (See page 6-8).
2. Place the vehicle on a level surfa- ce and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
TIP
Make sure that the vehicle is positio-
ned straight up when checking the oil
level. A slight tilt to the side can result
in a false reading.
3. Remove the oil check bolt, andthen check the oil level.
TIP
The oil should be at the brim of the
check hole.
4. If the oil is below the brim of thecheck hole, remove the oil filler
cap, add sufficient oil of the
recommended type to raise it to
the correct level, and then install
the oil filler cap.
5. Install the oil check bolt, and then tighten it to the specified torque. To change the transmission oil
1. Transmission oil check bolt
2. Transmission oil drain bolt
3. Washer
1. Place an oil pan under the trans-
mission oil case to collect the
used oil.
2. Remove the drain bolt and the oil check bolt to drain the oil.
3. Install the drain bolt and the check bolt, and then tighten them
to the specified torques.

Coolant
The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the coo-
lant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAU39087
To check the coolant level1. Place the vehicle on a level surfa- ce and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
TIP
The coolant level must be chec-
ked on a cold engine since the
level varies with engine tempera-
ture.
Make sure that the vehicle is
positioned 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 thecoolant reservoir.
TIP
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
1. Coolant reservoir
2. Maximum level mark
3. Minimum level mark
3. If the coolant is at or below theminimum level mark, remove
panel A to access the coolant
reservoir. (See page 6-8).
4. Remove the coolant reservoir cap, add coolant to the maxi-
mum level mark, and then install
the reservoir cap. WARNING!
Remove only the coolant reser-
voir cap. Never attempt to
remove the radiator cap when
the engine is hot.
