Oil Level Inspection
•
If the engine is cold, start the engine
and run it for several minutes at idle
speed.
•
Stop the engine, then wait several
minutes until the oil settles.
NOTICE
Racing the engine before the oil
reaches every part can cause en-
gine seizure.
•
Check the engine oil level through
the oil level inspection window. With
the motorcycle held level, the oil lev-
el should come up between the
upper and lower level lines next to
the oil level inspection window.

If the oil level is too high, remove the
excess oil through the oil filler open-
ing using a syringe or some other
suitable device.

If the oil level is too low, add the oil to
reach the correct level. Use the
same type and brand of oil that is al-
ready in the engine.
