In order for the transmission and clutch to function properly, maintain the transmission oil at the proper level, and change the oil periodically. Not only do dirt and metal particles collect in the oil, but the oil itself loses its lubricative quality if used too long.
WARNING
Motorcycle operation with insufficient deteriorated, or contaminated transmission 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.
