The oil is pumped from the oil reservoir to the engine when the latter
is running. The oil reservoir in this motorcycle is located in the top
front part of the frame. The oil level, when the bike is not in use,
decreases. The oil level drips down into the engine case. To check
the oil level, follow these instructions :
1. If the bike has been stopped for a week, we can be sure that all
the oil is within the engine case.
NOTE
When starting the engine, closely follow care and warnings
from the "start the engine" section.
2. Stop the engine and wait three minutes.

4. Wipe the dipstick clean with a rag.
5. Turn the cap of the dipstick (A). After removing the cap, remove
the dipstick next.
6. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. Oil level must be
between line (L) (LOW) and (F) (FULL). If that is not the case, fill up
the reservoir until the level reaches just the (F) line.
The level of the motor oil has to be between line «L» and line «F»,
engine damage may occur otherwise.
Check the oil level with the dipstick, with the bike in a completely
upright position, every time you are going to use the bike.
Motor oil expands and descends when it is hot. Check and
adjust the level when the motor oil is not hot.
3. After removing
Cange of oil and filter
the cap, remove the
dipstick next. (A).
The oil should be changed when the engine is hot, since this helps
the oil to go out through the drain located in the lowest part of the
engine. Follow these steps to change the oil.
