Engine oil level check

Check the engine oil level each day before riding
the scooter.
The level must be maintained between the upper
(1) and the lower (2) level marks on the oil filler
cap/dipstick (3).
1. Start the engine and let it idle for 3-5 minutes.
Make sure the red low oil pressure indicator
goes off. If the light remains on, stop the
engine immediately.
2. Stop the engine and put the scooter on its
center stand on level ground.
3. After 2-3 minutes, remove the oil filler
cap/dipstick (3), wipe it clean, and reinsert the
oil filler cap/dipstick without screwing it in.
Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick. The oil level
should be between the upper (1) and lower (2)
level marks on the oil filler cap/dipstick.
4. If required, add the specified oil (page 91) up
to the upper level mark. Do not overfill.
5. Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick. Check for
oil leaks.
