    Engine oil level Four stroke engine oil is used in the engines in order to lubricate the timing bodies, the bench bearings and the thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can seri- ously damage the engine. In all four-stroke engines, a loss of efficiency in oil performance and certain consumption should be considered normal.

  • Page 39: Engine Oil Top-Up

    03_02 ENGINE OIL CAPACITY: Engine oil ~ 1.100 cm³ 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 40: Warning Light (Insufficient Oil Pressure) (03_04
