Lubrication

Checking the transmission oil level

1Remove the transmission cover. Undo the two screws (one on each side) and lift off the transmission cover.

2 Check that there is oil in the transmission’s oil tank.

Rider 318 Fill if necessary with engine oil SAE 10W/40 (class SF–CC).

Rider 320 AWD Fill if necessary with oil Synthetic 10W/50

The oil and filter should be changed by an authorised service representative, as described in the Workshop Manual.

Work on the system entails particular demands on cleanliness and the system must be vented before the machine is used.

Lubricating the belt adjuster

The belt adjuster should be lubricated regularly using good quality molybdenum disulphide grease*.

Unscrew the belt shield.

Lubricate using a grease gun, 1 nipple from the right-hand side under the engine’s lower belt pulley, until grease is forced out. With daily use, lubrication should be carried out twice weekly.

Screw on the belt shield.

General lubrication

All joints and bearings are lubricated using molybdenum disulphide grease during manufacture. Continue to lubricate using the same type of grease *. Lubricate the steering and control wires using engine oil.

Carry out this lubrication regularly; with daily use, the machine should be lubricated twice weekly.

*Grease from well-known brand names (petrochemical companies, etc.) usually maintains a good quality. The most important property is that the grease provides good protection against corrosion.
