SERVICE INFORMATION

WARNING

If the engine must be running to do some work, make sure the aree is well-ventilated. Never run the engine in an enclosed area. The exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas that may cause loss of conciousness and lead to death.

CAUTION

Used engine oil may cause skin cancer if repeateddly left in contact with the skin for prolonged preiods. Although this is unlikely unless you handle used oil on a daily basis, it is still advisable to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water as soon as possible after handling used oil.

GENERAL

The oil pump can be serviced after removing the engine from the frame.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL

Place the motorcycle on its center stand and shift into neutral.

Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes.

Stop the engine, remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe clean.
Check the oil level with the oil filler cap/dipstick by inserting it without screwing it in.

NOTE

Do not screw the cap in when making this check.

If the oil level is below the lower level mark on the dipstick, fill to the upper level mark with the recomended oil.
Check the O-ring for damage.

ENGINE OIL CHANGE

NOTE

Change the engine oil with the engine warm and the motorcycle on its side-stand to assure complete and rapid draining.

Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and drain bolt. (17 mm)
With the engine stop switch OFF, start the starter motor for a few seconds to drain any oil which may be left in the engine.

NOTE

Do not operate the motor for more than a few seconds.

After the oil has drained, check that the drain bolt sealing washer is in good condition, and install the bolt.

Info: The part number for the sealing washer is 94109-14000, and it only costs like $0.25, so get some when you do the next parts order.

TORQUE: 35 N•m (3.5 kg-m, 25 ft-lb)

Fill the crankcase with the correct quantity of the recommended oil.

OIL CAPACITY:
2.8 lit (2.94 US qt, 2.46 Imp qt) after disassembly
2.3 lit (2.43 US qt, 2.02 Imp qt) at oil filter and oil change
2.2 lit (2.32 US qt, 1.94 Imp qt) after draining

RECOMENDED OIL:

Honda 4-stroke oil or equivalent
API service classification: SE or SF
VISCOSITY: SAE 10W-40

Install the oil filler cap/dipstick.
Start the engine and let it idle for 2-3 minutes.

Stop the engine and wait a few minutes, then check that the oil level is at the upper level mark.

Check that there are no oil leaks.

OIL FILTER CHANGE

Drain the engine oil (page 2-3).

CAUTION

Do not replace the oil filter when the exhaust system is hot.

Remove the drive sprocket cover (page 8-2).
Remove the oil filter with a filter wrench.

TOOL:
Oil filter wrench	07HAA—PJ70100

Apply oil to the new oil fiter O-ring and install the new oil filter.

Info: OEM oil filter part number is 15410-MFJ-D01. There are many quality aftermarket filters available; here is an incomplete list.

Tighten the oil filter with a filter wrench.

Torque: 10 N•m (1.0 kg-m, 7.2 ft-lb)

Fill the engine with recomended oil (page 2-3).

OIL PRESSURE CHECK

Warm the engine up to normal poeration tempererature (approximatesly 80° C/176° F)

Stop the engine.

WARNING

If the engine must be running to do some work, make sure the area is well-ventillated. Never run the engine in an enclosed area.
the exhaust contains poisonous carbon monozide gas that may case loss of conciousness and lead to death.

Remove the oil pressure switch and connect an oil pressure gauge attachment and gauge to the pressure switch hole.
Check the oil level.

TOOLS:
Oil pressure gauge attachment	07510—4220100 or equivalent commertially available in U.S.A.
Oil pressure gauge	07506—3000000 or equivalent commertially available in U.S.A.

Start the engine and check the oil pressure at 6,000 rpm.

OIL PRESSURE:
441 kPa (4.5 kg/cm-sq, 64 psi) at 6000 rpm (80°C/176°F)
