Engine oil
Checking engine oil level
The oil level varies with
the temperature of the
oil. The higher the temperature,
the higher 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 mis-
interpretation of oil level.
In order to ensure that the en-
gine oil level is read correctly,
check the oil level only after at
engine operating temperature.
Make sure the engine is at op-
erating temperature and hold
the motorcycle upright.
Allow the engine to idle for one
minute.
Switch off the ignition.
Check the oil level in oil-level
indicator 1.
