WARNING
The side stand retracts automatically
when the motorcycle is picked up from
its leaned over position on the side
stand. Be careful not to let the bike fall
over when you lift the bike up to per-
form this check.
In case of overturning, the motorcycle
will leak gasoline, which is extremely
flammable. Flames or sparks may cause
a fire, which could destroy not only the
motorcycle, but also the building in
which it is located, and cause serious
injuries or even death.
Keep the motorcycle in vertical position,
wi th the two wheel s resti ng on t he
ground.
NOTE
If you attempt to check the oil with
the motorcycle leaned in either direction
from the vertical, your measurement will be
inaccurate.
Visually check to ensure that the oil level
is at or above the lower edge of the
threaded hole (3).
If it is:
Inspect the gasket (2). Replace if dam-
aged.
Install and tighten the screw (1).
If it is not:
Top the oil up per the following para-
graph.
TOPPING UP
If it is necessary to top up the transmission:
Unscrew and remove the filler cap (4).
Pour a small quantity of oil and wait
about one minute to allow the oil to flow
into the transmissionpan.
Check the oil level as described above.
Repeat this operation until the oil level is
at or slightly above the edge of the
threaded hole (3).
Follow the screw installation instructions
above.
WARNING
Tighten the filler screw snugly to insure
no oil leak.
Occasionally check that the oil pan cov-
er gasket is not leaking.
Never ride the motorcycle with low
transmission oil or with contaminated
or unapproved lubricants. This will
greatly accelerate the wear of moving
parts and cause irreparable failure.
