A
Engine oil
Only use high-quality oils (Shell Advance Ultra 4) meeting or surpassing the
quality requirements of API classes SF, SG, or SH (for specifications see
containers). You may use either mineral oils or synthetic oils fulfilling the
above criteria.

NSUFFICIENT OIL OR POOR QUALITY OIL RESULTS IN PREMATURE WEAR OF THE ENGINE
.
Checking engine oil level
Allow the engine to run at idle speed for about 4 minutes. Turn off the
engine and place the motorcycle on a flat, level surface (center stand). Wait
5 minutes, unscrew and remove the oil dipstick, and wipe it clean with a
cloth.
SCREW THE DIPSTICK IN ALL THE WAY AND REMOVE IT AGAIN.
The oil level should be between the two marks on the dipstick, however, it
must never rise above the MAX mark. Otherwise, engine oil would get into
the air filter box by way of the engine venting system.
Add engine oil if necessary.

Oil circuit
The oil pump
1
pumps the engine oil past the by-pass valve
2
through the
oil filter
3
. After the oil filter, an oil lead branches off to a jet
4
which
sprays engine oil onto the piston pin bearing and piston head. The second
oil lead takes the main flow of oil to the microfilter
5
, which filters out even
the finest impurities. The cleaned engine oil is pumped through the oil lead
and the clutch cover into the crankshaft to the connecting rod bearing
6
and drips into the crankcase. An additional oil pump
7
sucks the engine oil
out of the crankcase and pumps it through the oil line
8
to the gear wheels
of the 4th and 5th gear. Via the gear wheels, the engine oil reaches the oil
sump. The timing chain
9
runs through the oil sump and transports the
engine oil upwards to the cylinder head. Through the bore
bk
the oil
reaches the camshaft
bl
and the valves.
Changing the engine oil*
The engine oil change is to be carried out when the engine is still warm.

Clean the plugs thoroughly with a fireproof solvent and compressed air, in
order to remove the metal abrasion. After all the oil has drained through,
clean raised and flat faces and install plugs with seals. Tighten plug

with
30 Nm (22 ft.lb)and plug
bn
with 20 Nm (15ft.lb).
Remove oil dipstick on the clutch cover and fill with 1.45 litre engine oil (i.e.
Shell Advance Ultra 4).
Warm up engine, check engine oil level and refill up to the marking MAX.
Finally check the oil system for leaks.
