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 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.
Switch off the engine when it is
at operating temperature.
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its centre stand.
Wait five minutes for the oil to
drain into the oil pan.
Check the oil level in oil-level
indicator 1.
Engine oil, specified level
Between MIN and MAX marks
If the oil level is below the MIN
mark:
Top up the engine oil ( 112).
If the oil level is above the MAX
mark:
Have the oil level corrected
by a specialist workshop,
preferably an authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer.
