ENGINE OIL
Engine life depends on oil amount
and quality. Daily engine oil level
checks and periodic changes are
two of the most important mainte-
nance items to be performed.
Engine Oil Level Check
Follow the procedure below to
inspect the engine oil level.
1. Start the engine and allow it to
idle for a few minutes.
2. Stop the engine and wait
approximately three minutes.
3. Hold the motorcycle vertically
and inspect the engine oil level
through the engine oil level
inspection window. The engine
oil level should be between the
"L" (low) and "F" (full) lines.
CAUTION
The engine oil level must be
between the "L" (Low) line and
"F" (Full) line, or engine dam-
age may occur.
Check the oil level, through the
inspection window, with the
motorcycle held vertically on
level ground before each use of
the motorcycle.

Questions and answers
I need to know the location of the idle screw .and why is my bike running sluggish. K no
The context does not specifically mention the exact location of the idle screw on a Suzuki VL800. However, it does mention the air-fuel mixture screw, which is often adjusted to improve engine performance. A sluggish-running bike could be caused by an improper air-fuel mixture, clogged fuel lines, worn spark plugs, or incorrect carburetor settings.
