Engine Oil/Oil Strainer Screen
Engine oil quality is the chief factor affecting engine
service life. Change the engine oil as specified in the
maintenance schedule (page 43).
When running in very dusty conditions, oil changes
should be performed more frequently than specified in
the maintenance schedule.
Please dispose of used engine oil in a manner that is
compatible with the environment. We suggest you take it
in a sealed container to your local recycling center or
service station for reclamation. Do not throw it in the
trash or pour it on the ground or down a drain.
Used engine oil may cause skin cancer if repeatedly left
in contact with the skin for prolonged periods. 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.
Changing the oil requires a torque wrench. If you do
not have it and the necessary skill, we recommend
that you have your Honda dealer perform this service.
If a torque wrench is not used for this installation, see
your Honda dealer as soon as possible to verify proper
assembly.
Change the engine oil with the engine at normal
operating temperature and the motorcycle on its side
stand to assure complete and rapid draining.
1. Remove the oil filler cap from the right crankcase
cover.
2. Place an oil drain pan under the crankcase and
remove the oil drain plug (1).
The spring (2) and oil strainer screen (3) will come out
when the drain plug is removed.
Position the engine stop switch in OFF and operate the
starter button a few times to drain the remaining oil.
3. Clean the oil strainer screen.
4. Check that the oil strainer screen, sealing rubber (4)
and drain plug O-ring (5) are in good condition.
