PRE-OPERATION CHECK
Engine Oil Level
A dipstick attached to the oil fill cap registers the engine oil level.
We recommend the use of only VICTORY brand Semi-Synthetic
20W-40 Motor Oil or an equivalent oil designed for use with wet
clutches (such as those with a JASO MA rating).
1. With the transmission in neutral, start and run the engine for
several minutes.
2. Shut the engine off and wait for 3-5 minutes.
3. Straddle the motorcycle on level ground and bring it to a
vertical position. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick (1) and wipe
the dipstick clean. Reinstall the dipstick and turn the cap
clockwise until it seats.
4. Remove the dipstick again and read the oil level.
5. If necessary, add or remove oil to bring the level into the area
on the dipstick above the ADD mark and below the FULL
mark. Repeat step 1 and step 2 each time you adjust the oil
level.
Do not operate the motorcycle with the oil level above the FULL mark or below the ADD mark.
Operating the engine with too much or too little oil can cause serious engine damage or engine seizure,
resulting in loss of control.
