En gine oil an d oil filter ele-
mentThe 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.
To check the en gine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur- face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion. 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 for the oil level to settle for an accurate reading,
and then check the oil level
through the check window locat-
ed at the bottom-right 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 chan ge the en gine oil (with or
without oil filter element replace-
ment) 1. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it
off.
2. Place an oil pan under the engine to collect the used oil. 3. Remove the engine oil filler cap
and its O-ring, and then remove
the engine oil drain bolt and its
gasket to drain the oil from the
crankcase.
4. Check the O-ring for damage, and replace it if necessary.1. Engine oil level check window

ening them to the specified
torque.
TIPMake sure that the O-ring is properly
seated.8. Install the engine oil drain bolt andits new gasket, and then tighten
the bolt to the specified torque. 9. Refill with the specified amount of
the recommended engine oil.
TIPThe use of 0W-30 is recommend-
ed in winter season.

able, use an ethylene glycol antifreeze
containing corrosion inhibitors for alu-
minum engines and mix with distilled
water at a 1:1 ratio.

Since the coolant level varies with en-
gine temperature, check when the en-
gine is cold.1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
