4 - Maintenance operations

Checking the engine oil level

Check the engine oil level through the sight glass (1) on the right-hand side of the oil sump.
Stop the engine and allow a few minutes for the oil to settle to a steady level. Check the level with the motorcycle perfectly
vertical and with the engine warm (but not running).
The oil must be between the MIN and MAX marks. If the level is low, top it up. Remove the filler cap (2) and top up with the
recommended oil.
Replace the filler cap.

Changing the engine oil and filter cartridge

Notes
Change the oil when the engine is warm (but with the engine stopped). In these conditions the oil is more fluid and will drain
more rapidly and completely.
Remove the drain plug (3) on the oil sump and allow the used oil to drain off.
Warning
Dispose of oil and/or filter cartridges in compliance with environmental protection regulations.
Remove any metallic deposits from the end of the magnetic drain plug. Refit the drain plug complete with seal (A) to the sump.
Tighten to the specified torque (Sect. C 3, Engine torque settings).
