If the High Oil Temperature
Indicator Lights
Taking Care of the Unexpected
Continuing to ride with high oil temperature can adversely affect the
service life of the engine.
Normally, the high oil temperature indicator will only light momentarily
when you turn the ignition ON ( ). Occasionally, it may flicker at or
near idling speed.
High oil temperature may be caused by restriction of air flow over the
engine (such as mud caked on the cooling fin), extended idling, an oil
leak, a low oil level, or extended operation under adverse conditions.
If the indicator comes on while you’re riding, don’t ignore it. Pull safely
to a stop. Stop the engine as soon as it’s safe to do so, and let it cool.
If the indicator goes off resume riding. If there is a leak do not
ride the ATV until the leak is repaired by Honda dealer.
Start the engine, and check that the high oil temperature indicator
goes off.
Check the oil level. If necessary, add the recommended oil (page )
to the upper level mark. If you must leave your ATV to get oil, secure
it as much as possible.
Check for an oil leak.
Check for any restriction of air flow over the engine.
Check for any restriction of air flow through the oil cooler.
