CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL (ALL 250Fi)
Park the motorcycle on a flat surface and keep it upright (not on the
side stand).
With the engine off, check for the presence of oil through the level
indicator (1) located on the right side of the engine. If you do not see
oil, incline the motorcycle to the right for a few seconds and check the
indicator again. If you still do not see oil, top-up 200 cc at a time until oil
is visible. If possible, use the same oil already in the engine.
Start the engine and keep it at a constant rate, just above the minimum,
for about 2 minutes. Turn off the engine and let the oil deposit for another
2 minutes. The oil level must be at about half the level indicator located
on the right side of the engine.
In the event the level reaches the lower part of the indicator or if it is not
visible, immediately top-up 200 cc at a time. If possible, use the same
oil already in the engine and repeat the inspection.
TOPPING UP ENGINE OIL (ALL 250Fi)
Unscrew the oil cap (1) located on the right side of the engine (clutch
cover) and use a measuring cup to pour in the amount of oil required.
Check the seal gasket (replace if necessary) and tighten the cap by 20 Nm.
