ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION
(For USA and CDN)
CAUTION:
lDo not add any chemical additives.
Engine oil also lubricates the clutch and
additives could cause clutch slippage.
lDo not allow foreign material to enter the
crankcase.
Recommended oil:
At 5 ˚C (40 ˚F) or higher
Yamalube 4 (20W-40) or
SAE 20W-40 type SH motor oil
(Non-Friction modified)
At 15 ˚C (60 ˚F) or lower õ
Yamalube 4 (10W-30) or
SAE 10W-30 type SH motor oil
(Non-Friction modified)
and/or
Yamalube 4-R (15W-50)
(Non-Friction modified)
(Except for USA and CDN)
CAUTION:
lDo not add any chemical additives or use
oils with a grade of CD a or higher.
lDo not use oils labeled “ENERGY CON-
SERVING II” b or higher. Engine oil also
lubricates the clutch and additives could
cause clutch slippage.
lDo not allow foreign materials to enter the
crankcase.

6. Start the engine and let it warm up for
several minutes.
7. Turn off the engine and inspect the oil
level once again.
