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.
The oil level varies with the
temperature of the oil. The
higher the temperature, the high-
er the level of oil in the sump.
861zMaintenance

Checking the oil level with the
engine cold or after no more than
a short ride will lead to misinter-
pretation; 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.Allow the engine to idle until
the fan starts up, then allow it
to idle one minute longer.
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and hold the motor-
cycle upright.
Switch off the engine.
Wipe the area around the oil
filler neck clean. Remove oil dipstick
1by turn-
ing it counter-clockwise.
Wipe the oil off MIN-MAX part
of dipstick 2with a clean, dry
cloth. Turn the oil dipstick clockwise
to install.
Remove the oil dipstick and
check the oil level.
