PDI Procedures - Check Engine Oil Level

The engine is factory filled with oil and
only requires a visual check at the
sight glass. As long as oil level is visi-
ble, it is ok for PDI test ride. However oil
level must be checked prior to cus-
tomer delivery as follows:
• Engine must be run to operating
temperatures and then allowed to
sit with engine off for 5 minutes
allowing oil to drain back to sump.
• With motorcycle in upright position,
level should be between Max/Min.
The difference between the marks
MAX and MIN is approx. 0.53 qt.
If necessary top off through filler.

Check Clutch Operating Fluid

• With motorcycle on center stand,
turn the handlebar fully to the right.
• Desired fluid level when clutch lin-
ing is new is center of sight glass.
• If necessary, add DOT 4 brake fluid.
Note: Fluid level will increase as the
clutch plate wears. Fluid level must not
fall below minimum (center dot).

Check tire pressures

Tire pressures are same for all condi-
tions (solo, 2-up, & 2-up with luggage).
Front: 2.5 bar (36.25 psi)
Rear: 2.9 bar (42.05 psi)
Record your measured value on the
PDI sheet.
