Introduction
What you need
Step 1
Oil and Oil Filter
- Place an oil pan underneath your bike.
- A motorcycle stand can help but is not required.
- Caution: Hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury. If you have been running the bike, your engine and the oil will be VERY hot. Please give the bike an hour to cool down before working on it.

Step 5
- Hold your bike up straight to view the oil lines on the side of the bike.
- There are two lines: the bottom line indicates low oil and the top line indicates full oil.
- Let the bike run for a few minutes to allow oil to flow through bike. After this, you may need to add more oil.
- A bike with no oil is just as bad as a bike with too much oil. Make sure the oil is to the top of the second line and no higher.
