7-8 ENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEM
Engine Oil and Oil Filter
WARNING
Motorcycle operation with insufficient, deteri-
orated, or contaminated engine oil will cause
accelerated wear and may result in engine or trans-
mission seizure, accident, and injury.
The engine oil level indicated in the clutch cover oil level
gauge is very sensitive to the motorcycle’s position and en-
gine rpm at time of shut down. Because of the semi-dry
sump lubrication system with separate oil chambers in the
crank room and transmission room, under certain condi-
tions oil can accumulate in the crank room and give a false
low reading at the oil level gauge, which indicates oil vol-
ume i n the transmission room.
Engine Oil Level Inspection
Situate t he motorcycle s o that it is vertical.
Check that the engine oil level is between the upper [A]
and lower levels [B] in the gauge.
NOTE
Situate the motorcycle so t hat it is perpendicular t o the
ground.
If no oil appears i n the gauge, tip the motorcycle slightly
to the right until oil is visible then return to an upright
position. If no oil appears even when tipped at an ex-
treme angle, remove both drain plugs to empty any oil
that may be in the transmission and crankcase, reinstall
the drain plugs and refill with the specified amount of oil.
If the motorcycle has just been used, wait several m in-
utes for all the oil to drain down.
If the oil has just been changed, start the engine and
run it for several minutes at idle speed. Thisfillstheoil
filter with oil.
Do not run the engine at high engine speed. Stop the
engine, then wait several minutes until the oil settles.
CAUTION
Racing the engine before the oil reaches every part
can cause engine seizure.
If the oil level is too high, remove the excess oil through
the filler opening, using a syringe or som e other suitable
device.
If the oil level is too low, add the correct amount of oil
through the oil filler opening. Use the same type and
make of oil that is already in the engine.
NOTE
If the engine oil type and make are unknown, use any
brand of the specified oil to top off the level rather than
running the engine with the oil level low. Then at your
earliest convenience, change the oil completely.
Engine Oil Change
Refer to the Engine Lubrication System in the Periodic
Maintenance chapter.
