Pre-Ride Inspections
Engine Oil Level
Polaris recommends the use of only VICTORY Semi-Synthetic 20W-40 oil, Synthetic 15W-
60 oil or an equivalent oil designed for use with wet clutches (such as those with a JASO MA
rating).
The oil fill cap/dipstick is located on the right side of the
vehicle. Always use the recommended oil. See page
108.
Tip: The engine must be at normal operating temperature
when checking the oil level.
1. Place the transmission in neutral.
2. Start the engine and allow it to idle for several
minutes.
3. Stop the engine and wait 3-5 minutes before
checking the oil level.
4. On level ground, straddle the motorcycle and bring
it to the fully upright position.
5. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe it
clean. Reinstall the dipstick and turn the
cap clockwise until it seats.
6. Remove the dipstick and view the oil level.
7. Add or remove oil as needed to bring the
level into the safe operating range
(between the FULL and ADD marks) on
the dipstick.
WARNING! Operating the engine with too much or too little oil can cause serious engine damage or
engine seizure, which could result in loss of control and serious injury or death. Do not operate the
motorcycle with the oil level above the FULL mark or below the ADD mark.
