Engine oilChecking engine oil level
The engine can seize if
the oil level is low, and
this can lead to accidents.
Always make sure that the oil
level is correct.
Oil can collect in the
sump if the motorcycle
is out of use for an extended
period of time; this oil has to
be pumped into the oil tank
before the level is read. The
engine oil must be at oper-
ating temperature to do this.
Checking the oil level with the engine cold or after no more
than a short ride will lead to
misinterpretation; this in turn,
means that the engine will be
operated with the incorrect
quantity of oil.
In order to ensure that the en-
gine oil level is read correctly,
check the oil level only after a
lengthy trip.
The oil level varies with
the temperature of the
oil. The higher the temperat-
ure the higher the oil level in
the oil tank. Check the engine
oil level immediately after a
lengthy journey.
Make sure the engine is at
operating temperature and
hold the motorcycle upright.

Check that the engine is
at operating temperature,

this substitute rear light, the
indicators in the display tell
you that a bulb defect has oc-
curred.A defective bulb places
your safety at risk be-
cause it is easier for other
users to oversee you and
your motorcycle.
Replace defective bulbs as
soon as possible; always
carry a complete set of spare
bulbs if possible.
The bulb is pressurised
and can cause injury if
damaged.
Wear protective goggles
and gloves when changing
bulbs.
The types of bulb fitted
to your motorcycle are
listed in the section entitled
"Technical data". Do not touch the glass
of new bulbs with your
fingers. Use a clean, dry cloth
to hold the bulbs when hand-
ling them. Dirt deposits, in
particular oil and grease, in-
terfere with heat radiation
from the bulb. This leads to
overheating and shortens the
bulb's operating life.
