4 - Maintenance operations
Checking the engine oil level
Check the engine oil level in the sight glass (1) on the RH side of the oil sump.
After switching off, allow several minutes for the oil to settle before checking the level. Check the level with the
motorcycle perfectly vertical and with the engine hot (but stopped).
The level should be between the MIN and MAX marks. Top up if low. Remove the filler plug (2) and top up with the
recommended oil.
Refit the filler plug.
Changing the engine oil and filter cartridge
Note
Change the oil when the engine is hot (but off). In these conditions the oil is more fluid and will drain more rapidly
and completely.
Remove the drain plug (3) on the oil sump and allow the oil to drain off.
Warning
Dispose of oil and/or filter cartridges in compliance with environmental protection regulations.
Remove any metallic deposits from the end of the magnetic drain plug. Refit the drain plug complete with seal (A) to
the sump.
Tighten it to the specified torque (Sect. C 3,
).
With a common filter wrench, remove the filter cartridge (4) from the oil sump.
