Transmission Oil
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, de-
teriorated, 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.
Oil Level Inspection
•
Place the motorcycle perpendicular to the ground.
•
If the oil has just been changed, let the motorcycle
sit a few minutes allowing the oil to settle.
•
Check the transmission oil level with the motorcy-
cle vertical through the oil level inspection window
on the lower right side of the engine. The oil level
should come up to the middle of the oil level in-
spection window.
NOTE
○
If the oil level is too high, remove the excess oil
using a syringe or other suitable device.
○
If the oil level is too low, add the correct amount of
oil through the oil filler cap opening. Use oil of the
same type and brand as those of the one that is
already in the engine.
