MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT 43 ○Do not add any chemical additive to the oil. NOTE Oils fulfilling the above requirements are fully formulated and provide adequate lubrication for both the engine and the clutch. Cooling System Check the water hoses for cracks or deterioration, and the connections for looseness in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart. Check the radiator fins for obstruction by insects or mud. Clean off any obstructions with a low-pressure stream of water. Water Hoses j Although 10W-40 engine oil is the recommended oil for most conditions, the oil viscosity may need to be changed to accommodate atmospheric conditions in your riding area.

Check the coolant level each day before riding the motorcycle, and replenish coolant if the level is low. Coolant
