ASSEMBLY
REPLACING PACKING LUBRICANT
The dirt bike engine is shipped with packing lubricant in it. This
lubricant must be drained and replaced with new engine lubri-
cant before attempting to operate the dirt bike. Do not start
the engine while it still contains the packing lubricant.
Always use a 4-stroke motor lubricant that meets or exceeds
the requirements for API service classification SJ.

CHANGING/ADDING ENGINE LUBRICANT
To check lubricant level:

Park vehicle on level ground and lower side stand.
 Start the engine and allow it to run for 3 to 5 minutes.
 Turn the engine off and allow to cool for at least 3 minutes.
 Unscrew the oil cap/dipstick and remove.
 Wipe dipstick clean and re-seat in hole, but do not re-
thread.
 Remove the dipstick and inspect the lubricant level. Level
should be between the minimum and maximum marks on
the dipstick.
 If lubricant is below minimum mark on dipstick, add lu-
bricant until level falls between minimum and maximum
marks on the dipstick.
To change engine lubricant:
Lubricant should be changed while the engine lubricant is still
warm, but not hot. This allows the lubricant to drain quickly
and completely.

Park vehicle on level ground and lower side stand.
 Start the engine and allow it to run for 3 to 5 minutes.
 Turn the engine off and allow to cool for at least 3 minutes.
 Remove oil cap.
 Place a container underneath the oil drainage bolt to col-
lect used lubricant as it drains.
 Unscrew the oil drainage bolt and remove the bolt and
washer.
 Allow lubricant to drain completely.

 Inspect sealing washer and replace if damaged.
NOTE: This should be replaced at least every other time
the lubricant is changed.
 Reinstall washer and oil drainage bolt. Torque oil drainage
bolt to 18 ft.lbs. (24 Nm)
 Fill crankcase with 0.90 qt. (0.85 l) SAE15W40 lubricant.
 Reinstall the oil cap.
 Start the engine and allow it to run for 3 to 5 minutes.
 Turn the engine off and allow to cool for at least 3 minutes.
 Hold the dirt bike upright and recheck the lubricant level.
 Make sure there are no leaks.
NOTE: Used lubricant should be disposed of at an approved
disposal site. See your local oil retailer for more information.
CAUTION:
Attempting to start the engine before it has been properly
filled with lubricant will result in equipment failure.
