Engine oil and oil filter car-
tridgeThe engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge replaced at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
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, and then check the oil level
through the check window locat-
ed at the bottom-left side of the
crankcase.TIPThe engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
4. If the engine oil is below the mini-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
To change the engine oil (with or
without oil filter cartridge 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 oil filler cap,
the engine oil drain bolt and its
gasket to drain the oil from the
crankcase.
TIPSkip steps 5…7 if the oil filter cartridge
is not being replaced.5. Remove the oil filter cartridge with
an oil filter wrench.

and its gasket, and then check the
oil level in the final gear case.
TIPThe oil level should be at the brim of
the filler hole.3. If the oil is below the brim of the
filler hole, add sufficient oil of the
recommended type to raise it to
the correct level.
4. Check the gasket for damage, and
replace it if necessary.
5. Install the final gear oil filler bolt
and its gasket, and then tighten
the bolt to the specified torque.To change the final gear oil
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face.
2. Place an oil pan under the final
gear case to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the final gear oil filler bolt,
the final gear oil drain bolt and
their gasket to drain the oil from
the final gear case.
4. Install the final gear oil drain bolt
and its new gasket, and then tight-
en the bolt to the specified torque.5. Refill with the recommended final
gear oil to the brim of the filler
hole.
6. Check the oil filler bolt gasket for
damage, and replace it if neces-
sary.
7. Install the oil filler bolt and its gas-
ket, and then tighten the bolt to
the specified torque.
8. Check the final gear case for oil
leakage. If oil is leaking, check for
the cause.1. Final gear oil filler bolt
