Lubricating the belt adjuster
The belt adjuster should be lubricated regularly using good
quality molybdenum disulphide grease*.
1 Unscrew the belt shield.
2 Lubricate using a grease gun, 1 nipple from the right-hand
side under the engine’s lower belt pulley, until grease is
forced out.
3 Use only good quality molybdenum disulphide grease.
4 Screw on the belt shield.
* Grease from well-known brand names (petrochemical
companies, etc.) usually maintains a good quality.
Checking the engine’s oil level.
Check the oil level in the engine when the Rider stands
horizontal with the engine switched off. Do not check the oil
with the engine running.
Open the engine cover.
Loosen the dipstick, pull it up and wipe it off.
Now insert the dipstick again, without tightening it.
Pull the dipstick out again and read the oil level.
The oil level should be between the markings on the dipstick.
If the level is approaching the ADD mark, top up the oil to the
FULL mark on the dipstick.
The oil is topped up through the hole the dipstick sits in. Fill
the oil slowly.
Tighten the dipstick correctly before starting the engine. Start
and run the engine at idling speed for approx. 30 seconds.
Turn off the motor. Wait 30 seconds and check the oil level. If
necessary fill so that the oil comes up to the FULL mark on
the dipstick.
The following oil classes are recommended:
• API Service Class: SF, SG, SH and SJ
