Engine Oil (4-stroke)
Engine Oil Level Inspection
CAUTION
This vehicle's engine is filled with
10W-40 oil from the factory. DO NOT
DRAIN and refill the crankcase before
use. Check oil level and drain plug tight-
ness.
Engine Oil Drain Plug Torque:
20 N·m (2.0 kgf·m, 14 ft·lb)
•
Park the vehicle on level ground.
•
Before starting the engine, check that the en-
gine has oil.
•
Check that the engine has oil through the oil
level sight gauge in the lower right side of the
engine.
CAUTION
If the engine is run without oil, it will be
severely damaged.
•
Start the engine and run it for several minutes
at idle speed. Stop the engine, then wait sev-
eral minutes until the oil settles.
•
Check the engine oil level through the oil level
sight gauge. With the motorcycle held level,
the oil level should come up between the H
(High) and L (Low) level lines next to the
gauge.

D. L (Low) Level Line
•
If the oil level is too high, remove the excess
oil through the oil filler opening, using a sy-
ringe or some other suitable device.
•
If the oil level is too low, add the oil to reach
the correct level. Use the same type and
brand of oil that is already in the engine.
•
When replacing the cap, be sure the O-ring is
in place, and screw the cap.
Recommended Engine Oil

Although 10W-40 engine oil is the recom-
mended oil for most conditions, the oil viscosity
may need to be changed to accommodate
atmospheric conditions in your riding area.
