To facilitate bleeding of the oil system, we have added a hose connection
piece and a plastic hose to the set of tools. Take an empty oil can (1 liter)
and drill a 7 mm (0.28 in) -diameter hole into the lid. Screw the hose
connection piece into the lid from the outside, and secure it from the inside
with the M8 hexagon nut.
Slip the plastic hose onto the hose connection piece, and you will have your
filling tool.
Fill 0.6 liters (0.16 US gallons) of engine oil into the can and remove the
plug
hole
the frame's front tube. Remove plastic hose, start engine, and let it idle
(approx. 20 seconds) until oil escapes at the hole
to leak out, switch off the engine, mount the plug and gasket and tighten
A
to 25 Nm.
Let the motor run until it warms. Check the oil drain plugs and the fine
screen filter to make sure they are properly sealed. Check the level of the
motor oil. Place the motorcycle on a horizontal surface (main stand) and
wait for 5 minutes.Checking the oil level, he should be between the two
marks on the inspection glass, however, it must never rise above the MAX
mark. Otherwise, engine oil would get into the air filter box by way of the
engine venting system. Add engine oil, if necessary.

Afterwards check the entire oil system and motor to make sure they are
properly sealed. Attach the covering of the fine screen filter to the frame
breast pipe.
NOTE: Dispose of used oil properly! Under no circumstances may used oil
be disposed of in the sewage system or in the open countryside. 1 liter
(0.264 US gallons) oil contaminates 1.000.000 liter (264.000 US gallons)
water.
