OIL LEVEL INSPECTION

1. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 minutes.

2. Stop the engine and wait 3 minutes.

3. Support the motorcycle upright on a level sur­face.

4. Remove the oil filler cap, oil check bolt and seal­ing washer from the right crankcase cover. A small amount of oil should flow out of the check bolt hole.

6. Repeat steps 1-5.

7. After checking the oil level or adding oil, install the oil check bolt with a new sealing washer. Tighten the oil check bolt to the specified torque.

TORQUE: 10 N m (1.0 kgf m, 7 Ibf ft)

Install and tighten the oil filler cap securely.

TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGE

• Transmission oil should be changed at least every 15.0 hours of operation to ensure consis­tent performance and maximum service life of both transmission and clutch components.

• Warm-up the engine before draining the oil. This will ensure complete and rapid draining.

1. Support the motorcycle in an upright position on a level surface.

2. Remove the oil filler cap from the right crankcase cover.

3. Place an oil pan under the engine to catch the oil, then remove the transmission oil drain bolt and sealing washer.

4. After the oil has drained completely, apply trans­mission oil to the transmission oil drain bolt threads and seating surface, then install the drain bolt with a new sealing washer.

Tighten the transmission oil drain bolt to the specified torque.

TORQUE: 16 N-m (1.6 kgf m, 12 Ibf ft)
