wire thickness gauge and, if necessary,
adjusted to specification.
Clean the surface of the spark plug
gasket and its mating surface, and then
wipe off any grime from the spark plug
threads.
TIPIf a torque wrench is not available when
installing a spark plug, a good estimate
of the correct torque is 1/4–1/2 turn past finger tight. However, the spark
plug should be tightened to the speci-
fied torque as soon as possible.

Engine oil and oil filter
element The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter ele-
ment replaced at the intervals specified
in the periodic maintenance and lubri-
cation chart. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur- face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set- tles, remove the engine oil tank
cap, wipe the dipstick clean, insert
it back into the oil tank (without
screwing it in), and then remove it
again to check the oil level.
WARNING! Never remove the
engine oil tank cap after
high-speed operation, other-
wise hot engine oil could spout
out and cause damage or injury.

6. Install the engine oil tank cap, and
then the check bolt and its gasket.
To change the engine oil (with or
without oil filter element replace-
ment) 1. Place the vehicle on a level sur- face.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Place an oil pan under the engine to collect the used oil.
4. Remove the engine guard by re- moving the bolts.
5. Remove the engine oil tank cap and the engine oil filler cap.
6. Remove the engine oil drain bolts and their gasket to drain the oil
from the oil tank and crankcase. 7. Remove the engine oil filter ele-
ment drain bolt and gasket to drain
the oil from the oil filter element.

TIPSkip steps 8–10 if the oil filter elementis not being replaced.8. Remove the oil filter element cover by removing the bolts.
9. Remove and replace the oil filter element and O-rings. 10. Install the oil filter element cover by
installing the bolts, and then tight-
en the bolts to the specified torque.
TIPMake sure that the O-rings are properlyseated.
11. Install the engine oil drain bolts and their new gasket, and then
tighten the bolts to the specified
torques. 12. Refill with the specified amount of
the recommended engine oil, and
then install and tighten the engine
oil tank cap and the oil filler cap.
TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any
parts after the engine and exhaust sys-tem have cooled down.NOTICE

remaining solvent out.
WARNING!
Use only a dedicated parts
cleaning solvent. To avoid the
risk of fire or explosion, do not
use gasoline or solvents with a
low flash point.

NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the foam
material, handle it gently and
carefully, and do not twist or
wring it.

4. Apply oil of the recommended type
to the entire surface of the sponge
material, and then squeeze the ex-
cess oil out.
TIPThe sponge material should be wet butnot dripping.
5. Pull the sponge material over the air filter element frame.TIP
Align the projection on the air filter
element frame with the hole in the
sponge material.

Apply the lithium soap base grease on the matching surface on
the sponge material.
6. Insert the air filter element into the air filter case. NOTICE: Make sure
that the air filter element is prop-
erly seated in the air filter case.
The engine should never be op-
erated without the air filter ele-
ment installed, otherwise the
piston(s) and/or cylinder(s) may
become excessively worn.
