Checking engine oil level
It is possible to misinter-
pret the oil capacity as the
oil level depends on the tem-
perature.
Check that the motorcycle is
at operating temperature and
place it on its center stand,
making sure the ground is
level and firm.
Run the engine at idle until
the fan starts.
Switch off engine at operating
temperature.
Wait five minutes to allow oil
to drain into the oil pan.
