Engine oil
Check 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 a short
trip leads to misinterpretations of
the oil fill quantity.
To ensure that the display of the
engine oil level is correct, only
check the oil level with the en-
gine at operating temperature.
Switch off engine at operating
temperature.
Make sure ground is level and
firm and place motorcycle on
center stand.
Wait five minutes to allow oil to
drain to the oil pan.
Read the oil level in the dis-
play 1.
Specified level of engine
oil
between MIN and MAX mark-
ing
If the oil level is below MIN mark:
Top up engine oil ( 108).
If oil level is above MAX mark:
Have the oil level corrected
at an authorized service facil-
ity, preferably an authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer.
