If the oil level does not reach the hole,
continue adding small quantities of oil
and checking the level via the hole (1)
until the specified level is reached.
•
Once the top up procedure is com-
plete, fit and tighten the inspection
screw (1) and the filler cap (2).
TIGHTEN UP THE FILLER CAP AND MAKE SURE THE OIL
DOES NOT SEEP.
CHECK REGULARLY THAT THERE ARE NO LEAKS IN THE
CRANKCASE COVER GASKET.
DO NOT RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE WITH INSUFFICIENT
LUBRICATION OR WITH CONTAMINATED OR INCOR-
RECT LUBRICANTS AS THIS ACCELERATES THE WEAR

RETRIEVABLE DAMAGE.
