NOTE:
If a torque wrench is not available
when installing a spark plug, a good
estimate of the correct torque is
1/4Ð1/2 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. Tightening torque:
Spark plug:
12.5 Nm (1.25 m0kg)

Engine oil and oil filter
elementThe engine oil level should be
checked before each ride. In addition,
the oil must be changed and the oil
filter element replaced at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1.Place the motorcycle on a level
surface and hold it in an upright
position.NOTE:
Make sure that the motorcycle is
positioned straight up when checking
the oil level. 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
settles, and then check the oil
level through the check window
located at the bottom-right side
of the crankcase.
NOTE:
The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.4.If the engine oil is below the min-
imum level mark, add sufficient
oil of the recommended type to
raise it to the correct level.

cC8In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives
with the oil or use oils of a
higher grade than ÒCDÓ. In
addition, do not use oils
labeled ÒENERGY CONSERV-
ING IIÓ or higher.
8Make sure that no foreign
material enters the crankcase.Recommended oil:
See page 8-1.
Oil quantity:

check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.

Cleaning the air filter
elementThe air filter element should be
cleaned at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart. Clean the air filter element
more frequently if you are riding in
unusually wet or dusty areas.

the piston(s) and/or cylinder(s)
may become excessively
worn.6.Install the air filter case cover by
installing the screws.

cCBe sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-friction
modifiers. Passenger car motor oils (often labeled ÒEnergy
ConservingÓ) contain anti-friction additives which will cause
clutch and/or starter clutch slippage, resulting in reduced
component life and poor engine performance.
