Maintenance
Engine Oil/Filter Change
Follow all instructions carefully. Do not overfill.
Change the engine oil at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance table beginning on page 56. Change
the oil more frequently if the motorcycle is subjected to
severe use, especially operation in cold weather. See page
55. Always use the recommended oil. See page 102.
NOTICE: Failure to perform frequent oil changes during cold
weather operation can result in condensation forming.
Freezing condensation can result in plugged oil lines and
serious engine damage.
NOTICE: After an oil change, the low oil pressure indicator may
illuminate when the engine is started. If this occurs, do not
increase RPM above idle speed until the indicator turns
off. Operating above idle speed could result in damage to
the engine.
1. Change the oil and filter when the engine is warm. If the
engine is cold, start the engine and allow it to run at idle
for at least five (5) minutes.
2. Park the motorcycle with the sidestand down on a firm,
level surface. For proper oil drain, use a service lift to
ensure the motorcycle is vertically centered.
3. Clean the area around the two drain plugs. Place a drain
pan under both drain plugs.
CAUTION! Hot oil can cause burns to skin. Do not allow hot oil to
contact skin.
4. Remove the drain plugs. Allow the oil to drain
completely.
5. Install new sealing washers on the drain plugs. The
sealing surfaces on drain plugs and engine should be
clean and free of burrs, nicks or scratches.
6. Reinstall the drain plugs.
