4.1 ENGINE OIL
Engine oil level check
– Place the vehicle on a flat surface, in a vertical position by
placing a suitable stand under the engine.
– Start the engine and warm it up for 1-2 minutes, then stop
it and wait 1 minute for the engine oil to settle.
– Check that the engine oil level is between min. reference
“A” and max. reference “B”. If it is below the reference
“A”, add the engine oil indicated in the “RECOMMENDED
PRODUCTS TABLE” section.
Engine oil also lubricates the clutch, so wrong types
of oil or additives can cause the clutch to slip. Use
only types of oil that meet the specifications and do
not add additives.
– Drain the engine oil by removing the drain bolt “3”;
– Once all the engine oil in the crankcases has drained,
replace the copper gasket with a new one and install the
drain bolt “3”.
If necessary, replace the oil filter:
– Remove cover “4” and oil filter cartridge “5”;
– Install a new oil filter cartridge “5” and a new O-Ring “6”;
– Then refit the cover “4”.
