PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT

7-12

EAU19745

Engine oil and oil filter ele-

ment

The 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 engine 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 until the oil set-

tles, and then check the oil level

through the check window located

at the bottom-left side of the crank-

case.

TIP

The engine oil should be between the

minimum and maximum level marks.

4. If the engine oil is at or below the

minimum 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 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,

the engine oil drain bolt and its

gasket to drain the oil from the

crankcase.

TIP

Skip steps 4–7 if the oil filter element is

not being replaced.

4. Remove the outer and inner oil fil-

ter element covers by removing

the bolts.
