4-PRE-OPERATION CHECKSOwners are personally responsible for their vehicle’s condition. Your motorcycle’s vital functions can start to deteriorate
quickly and unexpectedly, even if it remains unused (for instance, if it is exposed to the elements). Any damage, fluid leak or
loss of tire pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important that, in addition to a thorough visual in-
spection, you check the following points before each ride.

CAUTION:@ Do not use any type of tools to re-
move or install the cap as the igni-
tion coil coupler may get damaged.
The spark plug cap may be difficult
to remove because a rubber seal on
the end of the cap is tightly fit into
the cylinder bore. To remove the
cap, simply twist it back and forth
while pulling it upward; when install-
ing the cap, twist it back and forth
while pushing it downward. @

Engine oilOil level inspection
1. Place the motorcycle on a level
surface.
2. Remove the rider seat. (See page
3-13 for rider seat removal and in-
stallation procedures.)
3. Start and run the engine for seve-
ral minutes until the oil has
reached a normal temperature of
60 °C.NOTE:@ To achieve the proper engine oil tem-
perature for an accurate oil level read-
ing, the engine must have first
completely cooled down and then
warmed up again for several minutes to
normal operating temperature. @4. Place the motorcycle in an upright
position and continue idling for
10 seconds, then stop the engine.5. Remove the engine oil filler cap
and wipe the oil off the dipstick. In-
sert the dipstick back into the en-
gine oil filler hole, but do not screw
on the oil filler cap, and then pull
the dipstick out again. The oil level
should be between the maximum
and minimum level marks. If the
level is low, add sufficient oil
through the filler hole to reach the
specified level.

es faster starting from the half lev-
el portion on the dipstick.
