Engine Oil
Warning
Motorcycle operation with insufficient,
deteriorated, or contaminated engine
oil will cause accelerated engine wear
and may result in engine or transmis-
sion seizure. Seizure of the engine or
transmission may lead to sudden loss
of control and an accident.
In order for the engine, transmission,
and clutch to function correctly, main-
tain the engine oil at the correct level,
and change the oil and oil filter in ac-
cordance with scheduled maintenance
requirements.
Engine Oil Level Inspection
Warning
Never start the engine or run the en-
gine in a confined area. Exhaust fumes
are poisonous and can cause loss of
consciousness and death within a
short period of time.
Always operate your motorcycle in the
open-air or in an area with adequate
ventilation.
Caution
Running the engine with insufficient oil
will cause engine damage. If the low oil
pressure indicator remains on, stop the
engine immediately and investigate the
cause.
Note:
• An accurate indication of the level
of oil in the engine is only shown
when the engine oil is at normal op-
erating temperature, the
motorcycle is upright (not on the
side stand) and the filler plug/dip-
stick has been fully screwed home.
