Engine oil and oil filter
element
The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil must
be changed and the oil filter element re-
placed at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level surface
and hold it in an upright position.
TIP
Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking the
oil level. A slight tilt to the side can re-
sult in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
10-15 minutes and then turn it off.
3. Remove the oil filler cap, wipe the
dipstick clean, insert it back into
the oil filler hole (without screwing
it in), and then remove it again to
check the oil level.
1. Engine oil filler cap
2. Maximum level mark
3. Minimum level mark
TIP
●The engine oil tank is located in-
side of the frame.
●The engine oil should be between
the minimum and maximum level
marks.
Tightening torque:
Spark plug:
12.5 Nm (1.25 m·kgf, 9.0 ft·lbf)
TIP
If a torque wrench is not available
when installing a spark plug, a good
estimate of the correct torque is 1/4-
1/2 turn past finger tight. However, the
spark plug should be tightened to the
specified torque as soon as possible.
4. Install the spark plug cap.

NOTICE
Do not operate the vehicle until you
know that the engine oil level is suf-
ficient.
EWA10360
WARNING0
Never remove the engine oil tank
cap after high-speed operation,
otherwise hot engine oil could
spout out and cause damage or in-
jury. Always let the engine oil cool
down sufficiently before removing
the oil tank cap.
4. If the engine oil is below the mini-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
5. Install the oil filler cap.
