Maintenance
Engine Oil/Filter Change
7. Place a drain pan or shop towels under the oil filter.
Using an oil filter wrench, turn the filter counter-
clockwise to remove it. If necessary, remove the horn
bracket to improve access.
8. Using a clean dry cloth, clean the filter sealing surface
on the engine.
9. Lubricate the o-ring on the new filter with a film of fresh
engine oil. Check to make sure the o-ring is in good
condition.
10. Install the new filter and rotate it clockwise by hand until
the filter gasket contacts the sealing surface, then turn it
an additional 3/4 to one full turn.
11. Reinstall the horn bracket if it was removed.
12. Remove the dipstick. Using a funnel, add 3-4 qts. (2.8-
3.8 l) of the recommended oil. Reinstall the dipstick
securely.
13. With the motorcycle in an upright, centered position,
start the engine and allow it to idle for 30 seconds. Stop
the engine.
14. Add the recommended oil as needed to bring the level
to the FULL mark on the dipstick. Verify the level on the
dipstick.
Tip: The approximate volume between the ADD and FULL marks on
the dipstick is 16 oz. (.45 l).
15. Reinstall the dipstick securely.
NOTICE: Do not overfill. Overfilling can result in loss of engine
performance and an oil-saturated air filter. Use a suction
device to remove excess oil if overfilled.
16. Dispose of used filter and oil properly.
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.
