ATTENTION
The oil level varies with the

Misinterpretation of the oil level
Check the oil level only
after a lengthy ride or when
the engine is at operating
temperature.
Wipe the area around the oil
filler neck clean.
Allow the engine to idle until
the fan starts up, then allow it
to idle one minute longer.
Switch off the engine.
Make sure the engine is at op-
erating temperature and hold
the motorcycle upright.
