MAINTENANCE

Periodic Maintenance Chart

Maintenance intervals in the following chart are based upon average

riding conditions. Vehicles subjected to severe use must be inspected

and serviced more frequently.
The programmable service interval mode on the instrument cluster will

help determine when maintenance service is due. See page 34.
Record maintenance and service in the Maintenance Log beginning on

page 136.

NOTE: Service and adjustments are important for proper vehicle operation. If

you're not familiar with safe service and adjustment procedures, have

a qualified dealer perform these operations.

Severe Use Definition
• Frequent immersion in mud, water or sand
• Racing or race-style high RPM use
• Prolonged low speed, heavy load operation
• Extended idle
• Short trip cold weather operation
Pay special attention to the oil level. A rise in oil level during cold

weather can indicate contaminants collecting in the oil sump or crank-

case. Change oil immediately if the oil level begins to rise. Monitor the

oil level, and if it continues to rise, discontinue use and determine the

cause or see your dealer.
