  • Page 46: Engine Oil Level

    Engine oil level In four stroke engines, the engine oil is used to lubricate the timing elements, the bench bearings and the thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause serious damage to the engine. In all four-stroke engines, a loss of efficiency in oil perform- ance and consumption should be considered normal.
  • Page 47: Engine Oil Top-Up

    03_02 ENGINE OIL CAPACITY Engine oil 1,340 cm³ (of which 120 cm³ in the filtering cartridge) Engine oil top-up (03_03) The oil should be topped up after having checked the level and in any case by adding oil without ever exceeding the MAX. level. Take your vehicle to an Authorised Service Centre to have the engine oil checked and if necessary, topped-up as indi- cated in the scheduled maintenance table.
  • Page 48: Warning Light (Insufficient Oil Pressure) (03_04

  • Page 59: Long Periods Of Inactivity

    Long periods of inactivity (03_17) Battery performance will decrease if the vehicle is not used for a long time. This is the result of the natural phenomenon of battery discharging, and may be due to residual absorption by vehicle components with constant power consumption. Poor battery performance may also be due to environmental conditions and the cleanness of the poles.
