Oil level inspection
1. Place the motorcycle on a level
place and hold it in an upright
position. Warm up the engine for
several minutes.
NOTE:
Be sure the motorcycle is positioned
straight up when checking the oil
level. A slight tilt toward the side can
result in false readings.

NOTE:
If a torque wrench is not available
when you are installing a spark plug,
a good estimate of the correct torque
is 1/4 to 1/2 turn past finger tight.
Have the spark plug tightened to the
specified torque as soon as possible.
4. Install the spark plug cap.
