Replacing the engine oil.
Engine oil plays an important role in the normal operation of the engine and for
this reason it is necessary to check the engine oil periodically and to renew it after the
first 1000 km and then every 3000 km according to the procedures. following.
Note : When draining, clean the gauge (if equipped) and replace the oil filter.
Engine oil change
Replacing the engine oil should be done while the engine is still warm to allow the
fluid to drain completely.
To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Immobilize the motorcycle by placing it in a vertical position
2. Remove the oil filler cap
3. Unscrew the drain screw and let out the used oil
4. Replace the oil filter
Caution
Check carefully for leaks around the oil filter cover.
5. Tighten the drain screw and fill with new oil
The total engine oil capacity is 830mL (engine dismantling)
Drain screw tightening torque: 20-30 Nm
6. Check the oil level using the gauge (if equipped) or the oil level sight glass.
Checking the oil level
Before each use of the vehicle, always check the oil level with the gauge or the oil
level sight glass to make sure that the amount of oil is correct.
Caution
The use of inferior quality oil can permanently damage the engine and
seriously shorten its life.

Rules of conduct
Warning
If this is your first time riding this type of motorcycle, we recommend that you
familiarize yourself with its controls and operation on a low-traffic road until you
have mastered it.
Before setting off, check that the sidestand is correctly raised.
Do not accelerate sharply or downshift in a turn or change of direction.
Slow down enough when braking before entering a turn.
It is dangerous to operate a motorcycle with one hand. When riding, always hold
the handlebars firmly with both hands and keep your feet on the footrests. Never take
both hands off the handlebars at the same time.
On wet roads, the friction force being low, the braking distance increases and it is
more difficult to change direction: so remember to decelerate in advance.
Always respect traffic rules and speed limits
