Engine Oil and Filter Change

Replace engine oil
Initially at 1 000 km (600 miles, 2 month) and every 6 000 km (4 000 miles, 12 months) thereafter

Replace oil filter
Initially at 1 000 km (600 miles, 2 month) and every 18 000 km (11 000 miles, 36 months) thereafter

Oil should be changed while the engine is warm. Oil filter replacement at the above intervals, should be done together with the engine oil change.

Engine Oil Change

1) Keep the motorcycle upright with the center stand.

2) Place an oil pan below the engine, and drain oil by removing the drain plug (1) and filler cap (2).

3) Tighten the oil drain plug to the specified torque.

Tightening torque
  Oil drain plug: 23 N*m (2.3 kgf-m, 16.5 lb-ft)

4) Pour new oil through the oil filler. When performing an oil change (without oil filter replacement), the engine will hold about 1.2 L (1.3/1.1 US/Imp qt) of oil.

Use SF/SG or SH/SJ in API with MA in JASO.

5) Start the engine and allow it to run for three minutes at idling speed.

6) Turn off the engine and wait about three minutes, then check the oil level through the inspection window. If the level is below mark "L", add oil to "F" level. If the level is above mark "F", drain oil to "F" level.

Oil Filter Replacement

1) Drain engine oil in the same manner of engine oil replacement procedures.

2) Remove the oil filter cap (1) and oil filter (2).

3) Replace the O-ring (3) with a new one.

4) Install the spring (4) to the oil filter cap.

5) Replace the O-ring (5) with a new one and apply engine oil to it.

6) Install a new oil filter.

7) Install the oil filter cap.

8) Pour fresh engine oil and check the oil level in the same manner of engine oil replacement procedures.

3) Place the oil pan below the final reduction gear case.

4) Drain final reduction gear oil by removing the drain plug (1) and oil level check plug (2).

5) Tighten the drain plug to the specified torque.

Tightening torque
  Final reduction gear drain plug: 12 N*m (1.2 kgf-m, 8.5 lb-ft)

6) Pour new oil through the oil level check hole until the oil overflows from the hole.

7) Tighten the oil level check plug to the specified torque.

Tightening torque
  Final reduction gear oil level check plug: 16 N*m (1.6 kgf-m, 11.5 lb-ft)
  OIL: Engine Oil (SAE 10W-40, API SF/SG or SH/ SJ with JASO MA)

Necessary amount of final reduction gear oil
Oil check 180 ml (0.38/0.32 US/lmp qt)
Overhaul 190 ml (0.40/0.33 US/lmp qt)

8) Install the clutch covers. Refer to "V-belt Type Continuously Variable Automatic Transmission Removal and Installation".

Cooling Fan Filter Removal and Installation

Refer to "Cooling Fan Filter Inspection".

Cooling Fan Filter Inspection and Cleaning

Inspection

Refer to "Cooling Fan Filter Inspection".

Cleaning

Clean cooling fan filter
Every 3 000 km (1 800 miles)

1) Remove the cooling fan filter. Refer to "Cooling Fan Filter Inspection".

2) Carefully use compressed air to clean the cooling fan filter.

3) Install the cooling fan filter. Refer to "Cooling Fan Filter Inspection".

Drive V-belt Removal and Installation

Inspect drive V-belt
Every 12 000 km (7 500 miles, 24 months)

Replace drive V-belt
Every 24 000 km (14 500 miles, 48 months)

Refer to "V-belt Type Continuously Variable Automatic Transmission

Drive V-belt Inspection

Inspect the drive V-belt in the following procedures:

1) Remove the clutch covers. Refer to "V-belt Type Continuously Variable Automatic Transmission Removal and Installation".

2) Inspect the drive V-belt for crack or other damage and measure the width of belt if necessary. If any abnormal point are found, replace the drive V-belt with a new one. Refer to "V-belt Type Continuously Variable Automatic Transmission Removal and Installation".

3) Install the clutch covers. Refer to "V-belt Type Continuously Variable Automatic Transmission Removal and Installation".

Throttle Cable Play Inspection and Adjustment

Inspect throttle cable play
Initially at 1 000 km (6 000 miles, 2 month) and every 6 000 km (4 000 miles, 12 months) thereafter

Inspect and adjust the throttle cable play "a" as follows.

Throttle cable play "a"
2.0 - 4.0 mm (0.08 - 0.16 in)

1) Loosen the lock-nut (1) of the throttle pulling cable (2).

2) Turn the adjuster (3) in or out until the throttle cable play "a" (at the throttle grip) is between 2 - 4 mm (0.08 - 0.16 in).

3) Tighten the lock-nut (1) while holding the adjuster (3).

! WARNING After the adjustment is completed, check that handlebar movement does not raise the engine idle speed and that the throttle grip returns smoothly and automatically.
