Engine oil
Checking engine oil level
The oil level varies with
the temperature of the
oil. The higher the temperature,
the higher the level of oil in the
sump. Checking the oil level with
the engine cold or after no more
than a short ride will lead to mis-
interpretation; 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.
Switch off the engine when it is
at operating temperature.
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its centre stand.
Wait five minutes for the oil to
drain into the oil pan. Check the oil level in oil-level
indicator
1 .
