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 stand).
• When correct, oil should be visible
in the sight glass at a point midway
between the upper (maximum) and
lower (minimum) horizontal lines
marked on the crankcase.
• If it is necessary to top up the oil
level, remove the filler plug and add
oil, a little at a time, until the level
registered in the sight glass is cor-
rect.
Once the correct level is reached, fit and
tighten the filler plug.

cancer.
Always wear suitable protective
clothing and avoid skin contact with

The engine oil and filter must be
replaced in accordance with scheduled
