Inspection Before Engine Oil Level Check - Suzuki RM-Z450 Owner's Service Manual

2-10 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
INSPECTION BEFORE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
CHECK
• Before starting the engine, check that there is sufficient oil for
operating the engine.
If the engine is started with insufficient or no oil, the
engine components will possibly be damaged.
NOTE:
The oil level measurement may become inaccurate unless the
motorcycle is held upright as the motorcycle inclination affects
the oil level.
• During inspection, hold the motorcycle in an upright position
on a level surface.
• Remove the oil check bolt 1. If, at this time, oil comes out
from this bolt hole, proceed to "ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPEC-
TION" next page.
