Check the engine oil.

Before starting the engine, remove the anti rust coating from the engine and exhaust system using a mild detergent and water. Rinse with clean water.

Support the motorcycle in an upright position on a firm, level surface.

Check the oil inspection window to be sure the engine has oil.

If no oil is present in the window, remove the oil filler cap and add the recommended oil to bring the level up to between the upper and lower level marks.

Oil recommendation: Pro Honda GN4 or HP4 (without molybdenum additives) 4-stroke oil, or an equivalent motorcycle oil.
Viscosity (weight): SAE, 10W-40
API classification: SF or higher. Do not use oils labeled as energy conserving on the circular API service label.

Crankcase capacity: 3.5 Liters

(3.7 US Quarts)

Start the engine and let it idle for 3 - 5 minutes, then shut it off. Wait 2 - 3 minutes and, supporting the motorcycle in an upright position, check the oil inspection window. The oil level should be between the upper and lower level marks. If the level is low, add the recommended oil as detailed above. Do not add oil above the upper level mark.

Check the coolant level.

Check the coolant level at the reserve tank located behind the side cover on the left side.

If required, add Pro Honda HP coolant or

an equivalent high quality ethylene glycol antifreeze containing silicate-free corrosion inhibitors to restore the level to the

UPPER mark.
