Draining the float chamber of the carburetor
Following every wet-cleaning procedure, the float chamber of the
carburetor should be drained in order to remove any water that may have
penetrated into it. Water in the float chamber leads to engine malfunction.
Make sure you do this while the engine is cold. Close the fuel tap and place
a cloth under the carburetor which is capable of absorbing the leaking fuel.
Unscrew the plug
1
and clean it with compressed air. Then, mount the plug
together with the gasket, open fuel tap, and check the float chamber for
leaks.

Checking gear oil level
An inspection glass

on the left side of the engine allows easy checking of
the gear oil level.
Warm up the engine, then turn it off and wait two minutes until the oil has
flown back into the gearbox case.
Park the motorcycle straight on a horizontal surface and check the oil level.
The oil level must not drop below the "MIN" mark of the inspection glass.
Note: If the motorcycle is not parked properly for the oil level inspection it
will not be possible to achieve a reliable result.
If necessary add gear oil 20W30 (e.g. Shell Advance Ultra 4).
