Engine oil

Checking engine oil level

The engine can seize if the

oil level is low, and this can

lead to accidents.

Always make sure that the oil

level is correct.

The oil level varies with the

temperature of the oil. The

higher the temperature, the high-

er the level of oil in the sump.

Checking the oil level with the

engine cold or after no more than

a short ride will lead to misinter-

pretation; this in turn, means that

the engine will be operated with

the incorrect quantity of oil.

In order to ensure that the en-

gine oil level is read correctly,

check the oil level only after a

lengthy trip.

Check that the engine is at op-

erating temperature, make sure

the ground is level and firm

and place the motorcycle on its

centre stand.

Wait five minutes after switch-

ing off the engine at operating

temperature.

Check the oil level in oil-level

indicator 1.
