Engine oil level
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 four-stroke engines, a loss of efficiency in oil perform-
ance and consumption should be considered normal. Consumption can particularly
reflect the conditions of use (i.e. when driving at 'full acceleration' all the time, oil con-
sumption increases). In order to prevent any problems, we recommend checking
the oil level any time you use the vehicle. The scooter is, however, equipped
with an oil pressure warning light on the instrument panel.

Engine oil level check (03_01, 03_02)
Every time the vehicle is used, visually inspect the level of the engine oil when the
engine is cold (after completely unscrewing the oil cap/dipstick). The oil level should
be somewhere between the MAX and MIN index marks on the level rod; «A»; during
the oil check, the vehicle must be resting on its centre stand on an even, horizontal
surface.
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, wait at least
10 minutes after the engine has been stopped so as to get the correct level.
