Pre-Ride Inspections
Engine Oil Level
1. Start the engine and allow it to run until it reaches
normal operating temperature.
2. Stop the engine and wait one minute before checking
the oil level.
Tip: If the oil level is not checked within 3 minutes, repeat steps 1-2.
3. Position the motorcycle on level ground in the fully
upright and centered position.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean.
5. Reinstall the dipstick until fully seated.
6. Remove the dipstick and view the oil level.
7. Add the recommended oil as needed to bring the level
within the safe operating range (anywhere between the
two marks on the dipstick with engine at operating
temperature). If the oil level on the dipstick is
anywhere in the safe range, do not add oil. Oil should
be added only if the proper oil check procedure is
followed AND the level is below the safe mark.
8. 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.
Tip: The approximate volume between the ADD and FULL marks on
the dipstick is 32 oz. (.94 l).
9. Repeat steps 1-7 to ensure the level is within the safe
operating range.
10. Reinstall the dipstick securely.
