WARNING

Before starting work, ensure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported. This will help prevent it from falling and causing injury to the operator or damage to the motorcycle.

WARNING

The exhaust system will be hot if the engine has recently been running. Always allow sufficient time for the exhaust to cool before working on or near the exhaust system.

Contact with a hot exhaust could result in burn injuries.

Perform the following operations:

• Seat - Removal
• Battery - Removal
• Cradle Assemblies - Removal

WARNING

The oil may be hot to the touch. Contact with hot oil may cause the skin to be scalded or burned.

WARNING

Prolonged or repeated contact with engine oil can lead to skin dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which can cause cancer. Wear suitable clothing and avoid skin contact.

1. Drain the engine oil and remove the oil filter (see Engine Oil  and Filter Renew).

Ensure the oil pick-up is clean and free of blockages or restrictions. If the oil flow is restricted, oil pressure will be reduced and may cause severe engine damage.

1. Check the oil pick-up for blockages or restrictions. Remove and clean if found to be blocked or restricted.

Sump - Installation

1. Lubricate the four new O-rings with a commercially available soft petroleum jelly and fit two each end of the drain tube.

Perform the following operations:

• Cradle Assemblies - Installation
• Fuel Tank - Installation
• Battery - Installation
• Fill the engine with the correct grade of engine oil (see Engine Oil and Filter Renew).

CAUTION

Raising the engine speed above idle, before the oil reaches all parts of the engine can cause engine damage or seizure. Only raise engine speed after running the engine for 30 seconds to allow the oil to circulate fully.

CAUTION

If the engine oil pressure is too low, the low oil pressure warning light will illuminate. If this light stays on when the engine is running, stop the engine immediately and investigate the cause. Running the engine with low oil pressure will cause engine damage.

• Start the engine and ensure that the low oil pressure warning light goes out shortly after starting.
• Stop the engine and check the engine oil level. Adjust if necessary (see Engine Oil - Level Inspection).
