Engine oil and oil filter
cartridge
The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge replaced at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level 1. Place the vehicle on the center- stand. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for two minutes, and then turn it off.
NOTICE
ECA11291
The engine must be cold before pro-
ceeding with the oil level check, oth-
erwise the check will result in a false
reading.
3. Wait two minutes until the oil set- tles, and then check the oil level
through the check window located
at the bottom-left side of the crank-
case.
TIP
The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
