ENGINE OIL

Engine Oil Level Check
Check the engine oil level each day before
operating the motorcycle.
The oil filler cap/dipstick (1) is at the rear of
the right crankcase cover and contains a
dipstick for measuring the oil level. Oil level
must be maintained between the upper (2)
and lower (3) level marks on the filler cap/
dipstick (1).
1. Hold the motorcycle on upright firm level
ground.
2. Start the engine and let it idle for a few
minutes.
3. Stop the engine. After a few minutes,
remove the oil filler cap/dipstick (1) and
wipe it clean, then reinsert the dipstick
without screwing it in.
Remove the dipstick. The oil level should
be between the upper (2) and lower (3)
level marks on the dipstick.
4. If required, add the specified oil (see
page 60) up to the upper level mark. Do
not overfill.
5. Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick. Check
for oil leaks.
NOTICE
Running the engine with insufficient oil can
cause serious engine damage.
