ENGINE OIL

Engine Oil Level Check
Check the engine oil level each day
before riding the motorcycle.
The level must be maintained between the
upper (1) and lower (2) level marks in the
inspection window (3).
1. Start the engine and let it idle for 3—5
minutes. Make sure the red low oil
pressure indicator goes off. If the indicator
light remains on, stop the engine
immediately.
2. Stop the engine and hold the motorcycle
in an upright position on firm, level ground.
3. After a few minutes, check that the oil
level is between the upper (1) and lower (2)
level marks in the inspection window (3).
4. If required, remove the oil filler cap (4)
and add the specified oil (page 91) up to
the upper level mark. Do not overfill.
5. Reinstall the oil filler cap. Check for oil
leaks.
NOTICE
Running the engine with insufficient oil
pressure may cause serious engine
damage.
