WARNING
Motorcycle operation with insufficient deteriorated, or contaminated engine oil will cause accelerated wear and may result in engine or transmission seizure, accident, and injury. Check the oil level before each ride and change the oil according to the periodic maintenance chart in the Owner’s Manual.
Because of the semi-dry-sump lubrication system, the engine oil level indicated on the oil level inspection window will fluctuate depending on the motorcycle’s position and engine speed when the engine’s shut off. To ensure proper reading of the engine oil level, follow the Oil Level Inspection procedures closely.
NOTICE
Racing the engine before the oil reaches every part can cause engine seizure.
NOTE
NOTE
If no oil appears in the oil level inspection window tip the motorcycle slightly to the right until oil is visible then return to an upright position. If no oil appears even when tipped at an extreme angle, remove the drain bolt to empty any oil that may be in the transmission and crankcase, reinstall the drain bolt and refill with the specified amount of oil.
