ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION
ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION
1. Stand the motorcycle on a level surface.
NOTE:
When checking the oil level make sure that
the motorcycle is upright.
Place the motorcycle on a suitable stand.
WARNING
Never remove the oil tank cap just after
high speed operation. The heated oil could
spurt out. causing danger. Wait until the oil
cools down to approximately 70 ˚C (158 ˚F).
2. Idle the engine more than 3 minutes
while keeping the motorcycle upright.
Then stop the engine and inspect the oil
level.
3. Remove:
Oil tank cap 1

4. Inspect:
Oil level
Oil level should be between maximum
a and minimum b marks.
Oil level low → Add oil to proper level.
NOTE:
When inspecting the oil level, do not screw the
oil level gauge into the oil tank.
Insert the gauge lightly.

PILOT SCREW ADJUSTMENT
1. Adjust:
Pilot screw 1
* Except for USAChecking steps:
Slightly loosen the oil gallery bolt 1.
Start the engine and keep it idling until oil
starts to seep from the oil gallery bolt. If no
oil comes out after one minute, turn the
engine off so it will not seize.
Check oil passages, oil filter and oil pump
for damage or leakage.
Start the engine after solving the prob-
lem(s) and recheck the oil pressure.
Tighten the oil gallery bolt to specification.

Adjusting steps:
NOTE:
To optimize the fuel flow at a smaller throttle
opening, each machine’s pilot screw has
been individually set at the factory. Before
adjusting the pilot screw, turn it in fully and
count the number of turns. Record this num-
ber as the factory-set number of turns out.
Turn in the pilot screw until it is lightly
seated.
Turn out the pilot screw by the factory-set
number of turns.
Pilot screw:
1-3/4 turns out (example)
*1-1/2 turns out (example)
