ENGINE OIL
Only use fully synthetic brand-name engine oils (e.g.:
Motorex Power Synt. 4T) that meet or exceed the Jaso
T903 MA quality requirements (information on the can).
CAUTION: not enough engine oil or low-quality
oil will lead to premature engine wear.
CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
NOTE: the engine oil level can be checked
when the engine is cold or warm.
–Place the motorcycle on a level surface (not on the
side stand).
If the engine is cold, the engine oil should be visible at
the lower edge (A) of the inspection glass.
If the engine is warm, the engine oil should reach the
upper edge (B) of the inspection glass.
Add engine oil if necessary.
CAUTION: not enough engine oil or low-quality
oil will lead to premature engine wear.
– Check the engine for leakage.

OIL CIRCUIT
DESCRIPTION:
The oil pump (1) draws the engine oil from the oil sump through the oil screen (2) and pumps it past the pressure
relief valve (3) to the oil filter (4). It continues to the crankshaft (5), partly branching off through a hole to lubricate
and cool the piston (6) and the piston pin bearing. Once through the crankshaft, the engine oil is pumped to the
conrod bearing (7) and branches off again to the bearings in the balance weight (8).
The camshaft (9) is lubricated by the engine oil which is transported to the cylinder head by the timing chain (10).
On the downward movement of the piston, engine oil is pressed from the crankcase through the diaphragm
valve (not depicted) to the transmission and shift mechanism.
