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.
Remove oil cap/dipstick.
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.
Reinstall washer and oil drainage bolt. Torque oil drainage
bolt to 18 ft.lbs. (24 Nm).
Fill crankcase with specified lubricant as described in the
Operator's Manual.
NOTE: Used lubricant should be disposed of at an approved
disposal site. See your local oil retailer for more information.

CHECKING/CLEANING AIR FILTER
The air filter element must be kept clean to provide good
engine power. If you use your vehicle under normal, low-
tension conditions, you should service the air filter at the
intervals specified. If you ride in dusty, wet, or muddy con-
ditions, you will need to inspect the air filter element much
more frequently.
CAUTION:
Always check the air filter element after riding in severe
conditions and clean or replace as needed. Operating
the mini bike with a clogged air filter could cause engine
damage.
Air filter removal and cleaning:
Open the air filter cover.
Remove the air filter element from the box.
Wash the element in warm soapy water.
Squeeze out water by pressing the element between the
palms of both hands. Do not twist or wring or the element
will develop cracks.
Immerse the element in oil, then squeeze as before to
remove excess. The element should be damp with oil but
not soaked.
Replace the air filter element in the box. Make sure the
element is securely in position and the air filter is properly
sealed.
Close the air filter cover.
NOTE: Do not operate the engine without the air filter ele-
ment in place. Rapid engine wear will result.
