the oil fill quantity.
To ensure that the display of the
engine oil level is correct, only
check the oil level with the en-
gine at operating temperature.
Switch off engine at operating
temperature.
Make sure ground is level and
firm and place motorcycle on
center stand.
Wait five minutes to allow oil to
drain to the oil pan.
