Engine Oil Level Inspection - Suzuki RM-Z250 Owner's Manual

ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION

• During inspection, hold the motorcycle in an upright position
on a level surface.
NOTE:
The oil level measurement may become inaccurate unless the
motorcycle is held upright as the motorcycle inclination affects
the oil level.
• Warm up the engine. Start and run the engine at idle for 3
minutes.
NOTE:
Do not run the engine at a speed higher than idling, otherwise
the oil level to be inspected may be affected.
• Stop and leave the engine standstill for 2 minutes. Thereafter
if oil flows out when the oil check bolt 1 is removed, the oil
level is appropriate.
• If oil is excessive, let oil flows out of the oil level hole.
• If oil still does not come out, tighten the oil check bolt, remove
the filler cap 2 and pour an adequate amount of recom-
mended oil.
Exhaust system can be hot enough to burn you.
Do not touch the exhaust system when removing the
oil filler cap.
• Repeat the above-mentioned procedure.
• Tighten the oil check bolt.
 Oil check bolt: 11 N·m (1.1 kgf-m, 8.0 lbf-ft)
