Insufficient engine oil
pressure
General warning light
flashes red four times
per second.

bol appears on the dis-
play.
The oil pressure in the lube-oil

correct: do not continue to
ride.
Do not continue your jour-

quickly as possible by a
specialist workshop, prefer-

will suffer irreparable damage.
If possible, do not continue
your journey.
