Maintenance
70
Start the engine and run at idle for
approximately five minutes. Stop the
engine and wait for at least three
minutes to allow the oil to settle.
Note the oil level visible in the sight
glass.
When correct, oil should be visible in the
sight glass at a point midway between
the upper (maximum) and lower
(minimum) markings on the sight glass.
Note:
• An accurate indication of the level
of oil in the engine is only shown
when the engine is at normal
operating temperature and the
motorcycle is upright (not on the
side stand).
If it is necessary to top off the oil level,
remove the filler plug and add oil, a little
at a time, until the level registered in
the sight glass is correct.
Caution
Make sure no foreign matter or
contamination enters the engine
during an oil change or top off.
Contamination entering the engine
may lead to engine damage.
Once the correct level is reached, fit and
tighten the filler plug.
Oil and Oil Filter Change
Warning
Prolonged or repeated contact with
engine oil can lead to skin dryness,
irritation and dermatitis. In addition,
used engine oil contains harmful
contamination that can lead to skin
cancer. Always wear suitable
protective clothing and avoid skin
contact with used oil.
Warning
The oil may be hot to the touch. Avoid
contact with the hot oil by wearing
suitable protective clothing, gloves, eye
protection, etc. Contact with hot oil
may cause the skin to be scalded or
burned.
Warning
If the engine has recently been
running, the exhaust system will be
hot. Before working on or near the
exhaust system, allow sufficient time
for the exhaust system to cool as
touching any part of a hot exhaust
system could cause burn injuries.
The engine oil and filter must be
replaced in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.
To change the engine oil and filter,
follow the instructions.
