Checking Oil Level: XB Models
An accurate engine oil level reading can only be obtained with the engine at normal
operating temperature (hot check). The engine will require a longer warm up period in
colder temperatures.
For preride inspection, simply verify that there are no oil leaks from the oil filter and oil
lines prior to operating the motorcycle.
NOTE:
Perform a hot check of the engine oil level at each fuel stop.
Do not allow hot oil level to fall below Add/Fill mark on dipstick. Doing so can result
in equipment damage and/or equipment malfunction. (00189a)
