Warning! Motorcycle operation with insufficient, deteriorated, or contaminated engine oil will cause accelerated engine wear resulting in engine or transmission seizure. Seizure of the engine or transmission may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
1. Start the engine and run at idle for approximately five minutes.
2. Stop the engine, then wait for at least three minutes to allow the oil to settle.
3. Remove the dipstick, wipe clean and screw fully home in the crankcase.
1. Filler; 2. Dipstick location in crankcase; 3. Dipstick; 4. Upper marking; 5. Lower marking
Note: The actual level is indicated when the motorcycle is level and upright, not on the side stand, and when the dipstick has been screwed fully home. Do not add oil through the dipstick hole in the crankcase.
4. Remove the dipstick.
5. The oil level is indicated by lines on the dipstick. When full, the indicated oil level must be level with the upper marking on the dipstick.
6. If the oil level is too low, remove the filler plug and add oil a little at a time through the filler plug hole in the clutch cover, until the correct level is reached.
7. Once the correct level is reached, fit the dipstick and the filler plug.
