BLEEDING THE OIL SYSTEM
To facilitate bleeding of the oil system, we have added a hose connection
piece and a plastic hose to the set of tools. Take an empty oil can (1 liter)
and drill a 7 mm-diameter hole into the lid. Screw the hose connection
piece into the lid from the outside, and secure it from the inside with the
M8 hexagon nut.
Slip the plastic hose onto the hose connection piece, and you will have your
filling tool.
Fill 0.6 liters of engine oil into the can and remove the plug
1
next to the
steering head. Introduce the plastic hose into the vent hole
B
, and fill 0.6
liters of engine oil into the frame’s front tube. Remove plastic hose, start
engine, and let it idle (approx. 20 seconds) until oil escapes at the hole
B
.
As soon as oil starts to escape, turn off the engine, and mount the plug
together with the gasket.
Allow the engine to run until warm. Then, turn off the engine, and place
the motorbike on a flat, level surface in an upright position (center stand).
Wait for 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 oil 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.
