Checking the oil level
Check the oil level every 5,000 km; the oil should just reach the level plug hole «A»; if the
oil is below the level top up with the recommended grade and type of oil.
The oil level check will have to be carried out by means of the fork in the
horizontal position.
Oil change
The transmission oil should be changed after the first 500 to 1,500 km, and later on every
10,000 km. Drain the oil when the gearbox is warm as the oil is more fluid and drains more
easily.
Remember to allow the gearbox to drain fully before filling with new oil.
