oil filter
Check
In 4T engines, the engine oil is used to lubricate the distribution elements, the bench bearings and the
thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause serious damage to the engine. In all 4T
engines, the deterioration of the oil characteristics, or a certain consumption should be considered
normal, especially if during the run-in period. Consumption can particularly reflect the conditions of use
(i.e. when driving at 'full acceleration' all the time, oil consumption increases).
This operation must be carried out with the engine
cold and following the procedure below:
- Place the scooter on its centre stand and on flat
ground.
- Unscrew the cap/dipstick "A", dry it with a clean
cloth and reinsert it, screwing it all the way
down.
- Remove the cap/dipstick again and check that
the level is between the min and max reference
marks; top up, if required.
The MAX level reference mark indicates the
amount of oil in the engine. If the check is carried
out after the vehicle has been used, and therefore
with a hot engine, the level line will be lower; in
order to carry out a correct check it is necessary
to wait at least 10 minutes after the engine has
been stopped, so as to get the correct level.
Characteristic
Engine oil
1.10 l
The oil should be topped up after having checked the level and in any case by adding oil without ever
exceeding the MAX. level.
Restoring the level between the MIN and MAX reference marks requires ~ 400 cm³ of oil.
Engine oil filter
The cartridge filter must be replaced every time the oil is changed. Use new oil of the recommended
type for topping up and changing purposes.
Make sure the pre-filter and drainage plug O-rings are in good conditions. Lubricate them and refit the
mesh filter and oil drainage plug, screwing them up to the specified torque. Refit the new cartridge filter
being careful to lubricate the O-ring before fitting it. Change the engine oil.
