ECAM1060CAUTION:
The engine oil tank \fust be \billed in
2 steps. First, \bill the engine oil tank
with 1.90 L (2.0 US qt) (1.67 I\fp.qt)
o\b the reco\f\fended engine oil.
Then, start the engine, race it 5 or 6
ti\fes, turn it o\b\b, and then add the
re\fainder o\b the eng\kine oil.
NOTE:
Be sure to wipe off spi\f\fed oi\f on an\b
parts after the engine and exhaust
s\bstem have coo\fed d\fown.
ECA11620CAUTION: In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not
\fix any che\fical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel speci-
\bication o\b “CD” or oils o\b a
higher quality than speci\bied. In
addition, do not use oils la-
beled “ENERGY CONSERVING
II” or higher.
Make sure that no \boreign \fa-
terial enters the c\krankcase.
14. Start the engine, and then \fet it id\fe for severa\f minutes whi\fe
checking it for oi\f \feakage. If oi\f is
\feaking, immediate\f\b turn the en-
gine off and check for the \fcause.
15. Turn the engine off, and then check the oi\f \feve\f and correct it if
necessar\b.
16. Insta\f\f the engine guard b\b in- sta\f\fing the screws.\f

Coolant
The coo\fant \feve\f sho\fu\fd be checked
before each ride. In addition, the
coo\fant must be changed at the inter-
va\fs specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and \fubrication \fchart.
EAU20253
To check the coolant level1. P\face the vehic\fe on a \feve\f sur- face and ho\fd it in an upright posi-
tion.
NOTE:
The coo\fant \feve\f must be
checked on a co\fd engine since
the \feve\f varies with engine tem-
perature.
Make sure that the vehic\fe is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coo\fant \feve\f. A s\fight ti\ft to the
side can resu\ft in a \ffa\fse reading.
2. Check the coo\fant \feve\f in the coo\fant reservoir.
Reco\f\fended engine \koil:See page 8-1.
