2-12 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION
• During inspection, hold the motorcycle in an upright position
on a level surface.
NOTE:
The oil level measurement may become inaccurate unless the
motorcycle is held upright as the motorcycle inclination affects
the oil level.
• Warm up the engine. Start and run the engine at idle for three
minutes.
NOTE:
Do not run the engine at a speed higher than idling, otherwise
the oil level to be inspected may be affected.
• Stop and leave the engine standstill for two minutes. Thereaf-
ter if oil flows out when the engine oil check bolt 1 is
removed, the oil level is appropriate.
• If oil is excessive, let oil flows out of the oil level hole.
• If oil still does not come out, tighten the engine oil check bolt
1, remove the oil filler cap 2 and pour an adequate amount
of recommended oil.
• Repeat the above-mentioned procedure.
• Tighten the engine oil check bolt.
Engine oil check bolt: 11 N·m (1.1 kgf-m, 8.0 lbf-ft)
When removing the oil filler cap to avoid the risk of
being burned, do not touch the exhaust system when
the system is hot.
