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.
Switch off the engine when it
is at operating temperature.
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and hold the motor-
cycle upright.
Wait five minutes for the oil
to drain into the oil pan.
To protect the environ-
ment, BMW Motorrad re-
commends occasionally check-
ing the engine oil after a jour-
ney of at least 50 km.
