1. Oil level measurement
a. Place the motorcycle on a level place and hold it in anupright position. Warm up the engine for several
minutes.
NOTE:
Be sure the motorcycle is positioned straight up when
checking the oil level. A slight tilt toward the side can result
in false readings.
b. With the engine stopped, with the engine stopped, unscrew the oil filler cap/ dispstick and rest it on the
threads of the ok.
NOTE:
Wait a few minutes until the oil level settles before checking.
c. Remove the oil filler cap/ dispstick, clean it with a dry cloth and check the oil level.
NOTE:
To check the oil level the oil filler cap/ dispstick can not be
screwed, just lightly seated in place. d. The oil level should be between the maximum and
minimum marks. If the level is low, add oil to raise it to the
indicated level, check for oil leakage.

leakage is found, stop the engine immediately, and
check for the cause.
g. Stop the engine and check the oil level.
After replacing the engine oil, be sure to check the oil
pressure.
