Engine Oil

Oil Change

5. Remove the oil return hose from the oil tank. Have an assistant

place the end of the hose into a drain pan.

6. Disconnect the 2-pin WHITE/RED and GREEN/WHITE starter

motor solenoid control switch harness connector located near the

battery.

7. Rotate the plug 90 degrees and reinstall it with the WHITE/RED

wire connected.

8. Insert the male pin of the jumper harness into the starter solenoid's

female port.

9. Open the handlebar cover. Locate the 3-pin connector with the

BROWN and RED/WHITE wires. Plug this connector into the 3-

pin connector of the jumper harness.

10. Open the fuse box and remove the 20A EFI fuse from the fuse

block.

11. Reinstall the left side panel.
12. Have an assistant use the ignition key to turn over the engine. Crank

the engine for 15 seconds.

13. Wait 30 seconds to allow the starter motor to cool down.
14. Repeat steps 12 and 13 four more times for a total of five cycles.
15. Reconnect the oil return line to the oil tank. Tighten the hose clamp

securely, but do not over-tighten.

16. To prevent oil spillage, wait 3 to 5 minutes to allow any oil in the oil

filter cap to drain out before removing it. While waiting, remove the

foam oil breather element from the airbox. See page 114.

17. Inspect the foam element. Clean it with soap and water and let it dry.

Reinstall it, or install a new element if the existing element is dam-

aged or degraded and unable to absorb liquid.
