Changing engine oil (*)
Engine oil has to be changed with the
engine being at operating temperature.
Place the motorcycle on a horizontal
surface, remove the plug and allow the
oil to drain into a receptacle. Never
drain used oil to the ground, waste,
water lines or sewage.
Take out the oil drain together with oil
filter, clean these components carefully
and blow with compressed air. Check
o-ring and sealing and replace them if
necessary.
Once the entire oil has been drained,
clean the sealing surface, mount the oil
drain together with spring, oil filter and
sealing on the right position and tighten
up to 15Nm (1,5 Kg.m).
Screw aluminium drain carefully to
avoid damaging carter’s thread.
Remove the oil dipstick (1) and fill in 1
litre (1.1 litres on 200 cc engine) of the
recommended engine oil type.
Start the engine and check for leaks.
Finally, check the engine oil level and, if
necessary, correct it.
