Pre--Operation Check

Engine Stop/Run Switch
Be sure the engine stop/run switch stops the engine, or prevents the engine from starting when set to the Stop
position.
Notice If you regularly use this switch to shut off the engine, you are already checking its operation each
time you use the motorcycle.
Check Engine Oil Level
A dipstick attached to the oil fill cap registers the engine oil
level.
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 and wipe the
dipstick clean. Reinstall the dipstick and turn the cap
clockwise until it seats.
4. Remove the dipstick again and note 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 (see “Engine Oil
Specifications,” page 139). Repeat steps 1--2 each time
you adjust the oil level.
