Maintenance and Adjustment
Engine Oil
In order for the engine, transmission, and
clutch to function correctly, maintain the
engine oil at the correct level, and change the
oil and oil filter in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.
Oil Level Inspection
1. Sight glass
2. Oil level (correct level shown)
3. Crankcase oil level lines
With the motorcycle upright and off the side
stand, check to see if oil is visible in the
sight-glass at a point mid-way between the
upper (maximum) and lower (minimum)
horizontal lines marked on the crankcase.
The sight-glass can be viewed through an
opening in the right hand lower fairing.
Motorcycle operation with insufficient,
deteriorated, or contaminated engine oil
will cause accelerated engine wear and
may result in engine or transmission
seizure. Seizure of the engine or
transmission may lead to sudden loss of
control and an accident.
Never start the engine or run the engine 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.
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.
