Engine oil an d oil strainerThe engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil strainer
cleaned at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
To check the en gine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on the center- stand. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set- tles, remove the engine oil filler
cap, wipe the engine oil dipstick
clean, insert it back into the oil fill-
er hole (without screwing it in), and
then remove it again to check the
oil level. WARNING! The muffler
an d muffler protector become
very hot d uring use. To avoi d
possi ble burns, let the muffler
an d protector cool b efore re-
moving the oil filler cap.

TIPThe engine oil should be between the
tip of the dipstick and the maximum
level mark.4. If the engine oil is not between the
tip of the dipstick and the maxi-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
5. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler hole, and then tighten the oil filler
cap. To chan
ge the en gine oil an d clean
the oil strainer 1. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it
off.
2. Place an oil pan under the engine to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the engine oil filler cap and engine oil drain bolts A and B
to drain the oil from the crankcase.
NOTICE: When removin g the
en gine oil drain bolt B, the O-
rin g, compression sprin g, an d
oil strainer will fall out. Take
care not to lose these parts.
[ECAT1022]
4. Clean the engine oil strainer with solvent, and then check it for
damage and replace it if neces-
sary.
5. Install the engine oil strainer, com- pression spring, new O-ring and
engine oil drain bolt B.TIPMake sure that the O-ring is properly
seated.
