Never start the engine or run the engine in a
confined area. Exhaust fumes are poisonous
and can cause loss of consciousness and
death within a short period of time. Always
operate your motorcycle in the open-air or
in an area with adequate ventilation.
Running the engine with insufficient oil will
cause engine damage. If the low oil pressure
indicator remains on, stop the engine
immediately and investigate the cause.
With the motorcycle upright and off the side
stand, check to see if oil is visible in the
sight-glass at a point mid-way between the
upper (maximum) and lower (minimum)
horizontal lines marked on the crankcase.
The sight-glass can be viewed through an
opening in the right hand lower fairing.
