Since a certain quantity of oil still remains in the
circuit, oil must be filled from oil dipstick/cover.
Then start up the vehicle, leave it running for a few
minutes and switch it off: after five minutes check
the level and if necessary top up without exceeding
the MAX level. The cartridge filter must be re-
placed every time the oil is changed. Use new oil
of the recommended type for topping up and
changing purposes.
N.B.
THE ENGINE MUST BE HOT WHEN THE OIL IS CHANGED.

Check
This operation must be carried out with the engine cold and following the procedure below:
- Place the vehicle on its centre stand and on flat ground.
- Undo cap/dipstick, dry it off with a clean cloth and reinsert it, screwing down completely.
- Remove the cap/dipstick again and check that the level is between the MIN and MAX reference marks;
top up if necessary.
The MAX level mark indicates a quantity of around 1100 cc 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 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.
Oil top-up
The oil should be topped up after having checked
the level and in any case by adding oil without
ever exceeding the MAX. level.
Restoration of the level from MIN to MAX requires
approximately 200 cc.
