Warning
- Do not run the engine if the air filter is not in place as this would result in excessive wear of the cylinder
and piston as well as in damage to the throttle body.
Engine oil level
In four-stroke engines oil is used to lubricate the valve gear components, the crankshaft bearings and the
thermal unit. A lack of engine oil can cause serious damage to the engine.
In all four-stroke engines, oil deterioration and consumption are, to some extent, normal, especially during
running-in. Consumption partly depends on the riding style (for example, constantly riding at full throttle
increases oil consumption).
Checking the oil level
Perform this operation when the engine cold, as described
below:
1) Put the vehicle on its central stand on a flat surface.
2) Unscrew dipstick
«A», dry it with a clean cloth and refit by screwing it completely.
3) Remove the dipstick again and check that the oil level is between the MAX and MIN marks on the
dipstick; top up if necessary.
Il riferimento del livello di MAX indica una quantità di circa 1700 cc di olio nel motore.
The level will be lower if checked after using the vehicle
(i.e. when the engine is hot). To obtain a correct indication
of the oil level, wait for at least 10 minutes after switching off the engine.
When the oil level is at MAX the engine contains 1700 cc of oil.
