MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE
»
To facilitate bleeding of the oil system, we have added a hose connection piece
and a plastic hose to the set of tools. Take an empty oil can (1 liter) and drill
a 7 mm (0.28 in) -diameter hole into the lid. Screw the hose connection piece
into the lid from the outside, and secure it from the inside with the M8 hexa-
gon nut.
Slip the plastic hose onto the hose connection piece, and you will have your
filling tool.
Fill 0.6 liters (0.16 US gallons) of engine oil into the can and remove the
plug [1] next to the steering head. Introduce the plastic hose into the vent
hole [A], (see page 30) and fill 0.6 liters (0.16 US gallons) of engine oil into
the frame’s front tube. Remove plastic hose, start engine, and let it idle
(approx. 20 seconds) until oil escapes at the hole [A]. As soon as oil begins
to leak out, switch off the engine, mount the plug and gasket and tighten to
25 Nm.
Let the motor run until it warms. Check the oil drain plugs and the fine screen
filter to make sure they are properly sealed. Check the level of the motor oil.
Place the motorcycle on a horizontal surface (main stand) and wait for 5 min-
utes. Checking the oil level, he should be between the two marks on the inspec-
tion glass, however, it must never rise above the MAX mark. Otherwise, engine
oil would get into the air filter box by way of the engine venting system. Add
engine oil, if necessary.
Insufficient oil or poor quality oil results in premature wear of the engine.
Checking the engine oil level when the engine is cold results in a false
reading on the oil dipstick and therefore an incorrect oil level.
Do not overfill the engine case.
Do not underfill the engine case.
Afterwards check the entire oil system and motor to make sure they are prop-
erly sealed. Attach the covering of the fine screen filter to the frame breast
pipe.
Note: Dispose of used oil properly! Under no circumstances may used oil be
disposed of in the sewage system or in the open countryside. 1 liter (0.264
US gallons) oil contaminates 1.000.000 liter (264.000 US gallons) water.
Changing oil filter *
Replace the oil filter when changing the engine oil. Press the foot brake pedal
and place a screwdriver or similar between foot brake pedal and
stopper roll so that the oil filter cover is more accessible. Remove banjo bolt
[2] (WS10) and the three screws. Remove oil filter cover [3] and oil filter.
Clean the filter case, oil filter cover and sealing areas. Make sure the oil duct
in the oil filter cover is not clogged.
Place the new oil filter [4] on the connection in the oil filter cover and mount
together with a new seal [5]. Tighten the 3 screws in the filter cover to 5 Nm.
Tighten the hollow screw with seals and tighten to 15 Nm.
Finally, start the engine and check the oil system for leakage.
