Note:
• An accurate indication of the level
of oil in the engine is only shown
when the engine is at normal
operating temperature and the
motorcycle is upright (not on the
side/center stand).
• Start the engine and run at idle for
approximately five minutes.
• Stop the engine, then wait for at
least three minutes for the engine
oil to settle.
• Note the engine oil level visible in
the sight glass.
• When correct, engine oil should be
visible in the sight glass at a point
halfway between the upper
(maximum) and lower (minimum)
horizontal lines marked on the
crankcase.
• If necessary, top off the engine oil
level as described earlier.
• Once the correct level is reached,
install and tighten the filler plug.
