Engine Oil
Oil Change
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface. Set the parking brake.
2. Clean the area around the pre-filter plug.
3. Start the engine. Allow it to idle for two to three minutes.
4. Stop the engine.
Hot oil can cause burns to skin. Do not allow hot oil to contact skin.
5. Remove the 4 nuts/bolts holding the lower chain guard in place. Remove
the lower chain guard to avoid collecting oil as it drains.
6. Place a drain pan under the engine crankcase.
7. Remove the pre-filter plug. Allow the oil to drain completely.
8. Wash the oil pre-filter screen with solvent to remove debris. Allow the
screen to air dry.
9. The external oil filter is located behind the seat on the right-hand side of
the rear swingarm. The screw on the oil filter should be replaced when
oil is changed. With the oil drained from the crankcase, unscrew the oil
filter and replace with a new one. Ensure that the oil filter gasket is
properly seated, lubricated with oil and in good condition. Do not over
tighten the oil filter.
10. Clean the pre-filter plug. Install a new sealing washer on the plug. The
sealing surfaces on the plug and crankcase should be clean and free of
burrs, nicks or scratches.
11. Reassemble the pre-filter screen and spring to the pre-filter plug.
12. Reinstall the pre-filter drain plug. Torque to 11 ft. lbs. (15 Nm).
13. Reinstall the lower chain guard.
14. Remove the dipstick. Add 35.5 oz. (1050 ml) of the recommended oil.
Do not overfill. See the specifications section beginning on page 100 for
capacities.
15. Reinstall the dipstick.
16. Start the engine. Allow it to idle for one to two minutes.
17. Stop the engine and inspect for leaks.
18. Check the oil level. Add oil as needed to bring the level to the upper
mark on the dipstick.
19. Dispose of used oil properly.
