Motorcycle Repair: honda elite 1985 80cc, honda elite, screw cap


Question
Last night my oil light came on and I can't figure out where the oil goes.

Answer

Hi Susun,

If your bike has a four stroke model elite
engine then the oil is checked way down on
the right side I believe.

Look next to the kickstand spring area.
There should be a little screw cap
and it will have a dipstick on it
to check oil and you can add oil there
too. You might need to get a funnel
of some kind.

When checking the oil have the bike straight
up and down. Put the little dipstick in
but don't screw it in. Check the oil level.

Keep the oil level at the top
end of the marks on the dipstick.

The bike will only hold about one quart even when
empty so don't overfill it.

It uses 10w30 or 10w40 motorcycle oil.

Let me know if you do not find the oil filler
as you may then have a different engine.

The oil filler is usually light colored
and it opens or unscrews anticlockwise.

If the oil level is okay then check
your fuel level.


Good luck!
