MAINTENANCE
Periodic Maintenance Chart
Careful periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle in the safest, most reliable condition.
Inspection, adjustment and lubrication of important components are explained in the periodic
maintenance chart. Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as necessary. When inspection
reveals the need for replacement parts, use genuine parts available from your dealer.
Service and adjustments are important for proper vehicle operation. If you're not familiar with safe
service and adjustment procedures, have a qualified dealer perform these operations. Maintenance
intervals in the following chart are based upon average riding conditions and an average vehicle speed
of approximately ten (10) miles per hour. Vehicles subjected to severe use must be inspected and
serviced more frequently.
Severe Use Definition
●
Frequent immersion in mud, water or sand
●
Racing or race-style high RPM use
●
Prolonged low speed operation
●
Extended idle
●
Short trip cold weather operation
Pay special attention to the oil level. A rise in oil level during cold weather can indicate contaminants
collecting in the oil sump or crankcase. Change oil immediately if the oil level begins to rise. Monitor
the oil level, and if it continues to rise, discontinue use and determine the cause or see your dealer.
