Check the transmission lubricant level with engine turned off and motorcycle on level surface.
NOTE
Allow vehicle to rest for a few moments before checking lubricant level. This will allow lubricant level to normalize.
1. See Figure 1. Remove transmission lubricant filler plug/dipstick. Wipe dipstick clean.
2. Thread dipstick into transmission finger tight.
3. See Figure 2. Remove filler plug/dipstick and check lubricant level on dipstick. If lubricant level is at or below the ADD mark on the dipstick, add only enough lubricant to bring level to between ADD mark and FULL mark on dipstick.
4. Install filler cap. Tighten to 2.8–8.5 N·m (25–75 in-lbs).
