Engine oil
L Note:
The oil level varies with the tem-
perature of the oil. The higher
the temperature, the higher the
level of oil in the tank.
In order to avoid overfilling, it is
advisable to check the oil level
after the motorcycle has been
ridden. Hold the motorcycle upright
– Make sure the ground is level and firm.
– Check the oil when the engine is at operating temperature
(after the motorcycle has
been ridden, or else allow the
engine to idle until the fan
switches on)
Allow the engine to idle for at least 1 minute
Switch off the ignition
Remove plug 2
e Attention:
To avoid damage to the engine:
– Never exceed the maximum oil level.
– Always keep the level above
the minimum mark.
