SERVICE

ENGINE OIL FILTER The oil filter is located at

the base in the front of the engine. The oil filter should

be replaced every time the oil is changed. Use only

factory recommended filters.

TAPPET OIL FILTER SCREEN The tappet lifter

oil filter screen is located in the crankcase above the

oil pump. The removal and cleaning of the oil filter

screen should take place every service interval or if

there is abnormal lifter noise. Use caution when cleaning

so not to damage the filter screen when removing.

There is a spring under the filter screen cap to hold

the filter screen in place. Take care when removing that

you retain the spring to reinstall with the filter screen

or the filter screen will not be able to perform its

function.

WINTER LUBRICATION The oil change interval in winter should be shorter than

normal if the motorcycle is used only for short runs. The oil should be drained frequently

along with a thorough tank flush with fresh oil before new oil is put in the tank.
