Engine Oil Level

With the semi-dry sump lubrication system, the engine oil level on the dipstick will fluctuate, depending on the motorcycle’s position and engine temperature when checked. To ensure a proper reading of the engine oil level, follow all inspection procedures closely.

WARNING
Operating with insufficient, deteriorated or contaminated engine oil will cause accelerated wear and may result in engine or transmission seizure, which could result in loss of control and serious injury or death. Check the oil level frequently.

Always check the oil after running a cold engine at idle for 30 seconds. The oil fill/dipstick is located on the right side of the motorcycle. Always use the recommended oil. See Engine Oil Recommendation.

  1. Position the motorcycle on level ground in the fully upright and centered position.

  2. Start the engine (from cold) and allow it to idle for 30 seconds. Stop the engine.

  3. Remove the dipstick 1 and wipe it clean.

  4. Thread the dipstick until fully seated.

  5. Remove the dipstick and view the oil level.

    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.

  6. Add the recommended oil as needed to bring the level to the FULL mark on the dipstick. Verify the level on the dipstick.

    NOTICE
    The approximate volume between the FULL 2 and ADD 3 marks on the dipstick is 16 floz (.45 l).

  7. Reinstall the dipstick securely.
