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 off the oil
level, remove the filler plug and add
oil, a little at a time, until the level
registered in the sight glass is
correct.
Once the correct level is reached, install
and tighten the filler plug.
