Engine oil and oil strainer
The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil strainer
cleaned at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
To check the engine oil level
Place the vehicle on the center-
stand. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it off.
Wait a few minutes until the oil set-
tles, remove the engine oil filler cap,
wipe the engine oil dipstick clean,
insert it back into the oil filler hole
(without screwing it in), and then
remove it again to check the oil
level. WARNING! The muffler and
muffler protector become very
hot during use. To avoid possible
burns, let the muffler and
protector cool before removing
the oil filler cap.

The engine oil should be between the
tip of the dipstick and the maximum
level mark.
If the engine oil is not between the
tip of the dipstick and the maximum
level mark, add sufficient oil of the
recommended type to raise it to the
correct level.
Insert the dipstick into the oil filler
hole, and then tighten the oil filler
cap.
