Maintenance and Adjustment
Stop engine.
Remove the filler cap/dipstick from the oil
tank, wipe the dipstick clean and refit the filler
cap, pushing it fully home.
Note:
• The actual level is indicated when
the motorcycle is upright, (not on
the side stand) and when the filler
cap/dipstick has been pushed fully
home.
Remove the filler cap/dipstick.
The maximum oil level is indicated by a mark
on the filler cap/dipstick. When the oil level is
correct, the indicated oil level must be
between the maximum and minimum lines
on the dipstick.
If the oil level is too low, add oil a little at a
time until the correct level is reached.
Once the correct level is reached, fit the filler
cap/dipstick.
Oil and Oil Filter Change
1. Oil tank drain plug
2. Front sump drain plug
3. Rear sump drain plug
4. Oil filter cover
The engine oil and filter must be replaced in
accordance with scheduled maintenance
requirements.
Because this motorcycle has a dry-sump
lubrication system, the oil change procedure
differs from those many will be familiar with.
This is because the majority of the oil is
contained in the oil tank on the left side of
the engine, not in the sump. To change the
engine oil and filter, follow the instructions
below/over.
