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-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 of engine oil into the can and remove the plug
steering head. Introduce the plastic hose into the vent hole
30) and fill 0.6 liters of engine oil into the frame's front tube. Remove pla-
stic hose, start engine, and let it idle (approx. 20 seconds) until oil escapes
at the hole
mount the plug together with the gasket.
Let the motor run until it warms. Check the oil drain plugs and the fine
B
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. Remove the dip stick and wipe it with a piece of cloth
SCREW THE DIPSTICK IN ALL THE WAY AND REMOVE IT AGAIN.
The oil level should be between the two marks on the oil dipstick, 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.
