Checking the engine oil level
Check the engine oil level when the engine is warm (at least 5 bars on the temperature indi-
cator). Place the motorcycle on a level surface (not on the side stand). Wait 30 seconds to
allow the oil level to settle in the engine. The oil level should be between the MIN and MAX
marks. Add engine oil if necessary.
Always check the oil level when the engine is warm. A cold engine can distort the measur-
ing results. Engine oil expands when heated, increasing the oil level.
