ENGINE OIL

Checking engine oil level

ATTENTION
Misinterpretation of oil level
reading, because oil level is
temperature-dependent (the
higher the temperature, the
higher the oil level)
Engine damage
Check the oil level only after
a lengthy ride or when the
engine is at operating tem-
perature.
Wipe the area around the oil
filler opening clean.
Allow the engine to idle until
the fan starts up, then allow it
to idle one minute longer.
Switch off the engine.
ATTENTION

Vehicle toppling sideways

Risk of damage to parts if
vehicle topples
Secure the vehicle, prefer-
ably with the assistance of
a second person, so that it
cannot topple sideways.
Make sure the engine is at
operating temperature and
hold the motorcycle upright.
