Engine oil
Checking 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 higher the level of oil in the
sump. Checking the oil level with
the engine cold or after a short
trip leads to misinterpretations
and therefore to incorrect oil fill
quantities.
To ensure that the display of the
engine oil level is correct, only
check the oil level after a longer
trip.
Make sure ground is level and
firm and hold motorcycle at op-
erating temperature vertically.
Let the engine run in neutral
for one minute.
Switch off ignition.
