NOTE: the level must never exceed the bottom lip
of the hole or be below the same. In the first case
the excess oil would leak out and in the second
case the engine could be severely damaged.
Top up if necessary.
TOPPING UP
For the type of gear oil to be used, see page 100
(LUBRICANTS) under: Gear oil.
- Unscrew and remove the filler cap (2).
- Pour in a small amount of oil and wait ap-
prox. one minute for the oil to flow uniformly
inside the crankcase.
- Repeat topping up with small amounts of
oil and check that the correct level has been
reached.
- When the level is correct, screw the cap (2)
back on and the level control screw (1).
CHANGING THE OIL
The oil should be changed when the engine is
warm (to facilitate drainage), proceeding as de-
scribed below.
- Place the vehicle on firm and level ground.
- Keep the vehicle upright with both wheels
resting on the ground.
- Place a container with a capacity of over
1000 cm3 under the drain plug (3).
- Unscrew and remove the drain plug (3) and
the filler cap (2).
- Let the oil flow out and then drip for a few
minutes into the container.
- Remove any metal residues attached to the
magnet on the drain plug.
- Check and if necessary replace the sealing
washer on the drain plug.
It is recommended that the drain plug seal-
ing washer be replaced every 12000 km (or
every time the gear oil is changed).
- Close the drain plug (3).
Torque wrench setting for drain plug (4):
15 Nm (1.5 kgm).
- Pour 750 cm3 of gear oil into the filling hole
(2), see page 105 (LUBRICANTS).
- Refit the filler cap (2).
- Start the vehicle, see page 77 (STARTING)
and let it idle for a short period to allow the
gear oil to circulate.
- Check the oil level and top up if necessary.
CAUTION:
Close the filler cap and drain plug well
and make sure there is no oil leak.
Wipe away any drops or smears of oil
left from putting in the oil.
Periodically check for leaks around the
gasket of the crankcase cover.
Do not use the vehicle if the lubricant
level is insufficient or the lubricant is
dirty since this would accelerate wear
and tear of the moving parts and could
lead to irreparable damage.
