line. Use either Mobil 1, 15W-50 synthetic oil or

dust, dirt, or other debris.
20. Reinstall the left drive tire and remove the jack

22. Start the engine and run it in the slowest throttle
position. Dismount the machine and raise the seat

23. Carefully watch the oil level in the reservoir while the
machine in running. The level will initially drop quick-
ly as the oil coolers are being filled. Do not allow the
oil level to drop below 50% of the full capacity.
24. With the cap removed, look through the filler neck of
the oil reservoir and watch for oil flow at the return

the “MAX OIL LEVEL HOT” line.
