OIL AND ENGINE OIL FILTER
! DANGER !
If the engine has to run to make some
service, verify that the area is well ventilated.
Never put the engine running in an enclosed
space. The exhaust gas contains carbon
monoxide, which can cause loss of
consciousness and may lead to death.
Recommendation:
Use only 4 stroke engine oil SAE 20W 50 of
good quality to ensure a high lifetime of the
engine. Use only oils that meet or exceed the
requirements of SF or SG API classes.
Recommended oil type:
Eni/Agip i-Ride moto SAE 20W-50
Specifications: API SG JASO MA, MA2
OIL LEVEL
Checking the oil level
Put the motorcycle in vertical position and
leveled to the ground;
Check the oil level on the glass in the lower
area of the right housing cover.
If the oil level is below the minimum (
L
):
Fill with recommended oil to the
maximum level mark (
H
);
Place the engine and let idling for three
minutes;
Stop the engine and check the oil level.
OIL CHANGE / OIL FILTER
! DANGER !
Waste motor oil may cause skin cancer if they
repeatedly get in contact with the skin for
extended periods. It is recommended to wash
your hands with soap and water immediately
after having handled waste oil.
Note:
Replace the engine oil with the engine
hot and to ensure a complete emptying of the
oil, the motorcycle must be tilted to the left
(supported on the side stand).
Put the engine running and let idle for 5
minutes;
Stop the engine and remove the cover to the
oil filler.
Note:
In the case of the model PR4
EXTREME remove first the crankcase
protection
(see
Chapter

–
Frame/Panels/Exhaust).
In this engine oil drainage and oil filter
removing are made by the same location. As
will be shown below.
Remove the oil filter cover (1) together with
the spring and the filter on the bottom side of
the left crankcase area.
Drain the engine oil into a suitable container,
to prevent spill on the floor.
