Engine Oil - Suzuki SV650 Manual

ENGINE OIL

Engine life depends on oil amount
and quality. Daily oil level checks
and periodic changes are two of
the most important maintenance
items to be performed.
Engine Oil Level Check
Check the engine oil level as fol-
lows:
1. Place the motorcycle on level
ground on the side stand.
2. Start the engine and allow it to
idle for three minutes.
3. Stop the engine and wait
approximately three minutes.

4. Hold the motorcycle vertically
and check the oil level through
the oil level inspection window
on the right side of the engine.
The engine oil level should be
between the "L" (low) and the
"F" (full) lines.
NOTICE
Operating the motorcycle with
too little or too much oil can
damage the engine.
Place the motorcycle on level
ground. Check the oil level with
the engine oil inspection win-
dow before each use of the
vehicle. Be sure the engine oil
level is always above the "L"
(low) line and not higher than
the "F" (full) line.
