• Prefill the replacement engine oil
filter with the new engine oil.
• Apply a thin smear of clean engine
oil to the sealing ring of the new
engine oil filter.
• Fit the engine oil filter and tighten
to 10 Nm.
• Secure the radiator lower surround
to its bracket and tighten the
fixings to 5 Nm.
• After the engine oil has completely
drained out, fit a new sealing
washer to the three sump plugs.
• Fit and tighten the sump plugs to
25 Nm.
Note
An accurate indication of the level of oil
in the engine is only shown when the
engine is cold and the motorcycle is on
the side stand.
This method of checking the engine oil is
especially important to make sure the oil
volume is distributed correctly because
this model has a dry sump engine.
Failure to follow this method will result
in an inaccurate indication of oil in the
engine.
• Using a suitable funnel, fill the
engine with 4.6 litres of new semi or
fully synthetic 15W/50 motorcycle
engine oil which meets specification
API SH (or higher) and JSO MA, such
as Castrol Power 1 4T.
• Fit the dipstick, start the engine
and allow it to idle for a 60 to 90
seconds.
Note
Do not operate the throttle while
the engine is at idle. This will give an
inaccurate oil level on the engine oil
dipstick.
• Make sure that the low oil pressure
warning light remains off after
starting and a warning message is
not shown in the display screen.
• Stop the engine, then wait for at
least three minutes to allow the oil
to settle. Add the recommended
engine oil, a little at a time, up to
the maximum mark on the engine oil
dipstick.
