Checking engine oil level
Allow the engine to run at idle for about 4 minutes. Turn off the engine and place
the motorcycle on a flat, level surface (main stand). Take out the oil dipstick and
wipe it off with a cloth.
SCREW THE OIL DIPSTICK COMPLETELY INTO THE FILLER HOLE AND THEN
REMOVE IT. The oil level should be within the flat area of the oil dipstick. Add
oil if necessary.

Oil circuit (SX, SC)
The oil pump 1 pumps the engine oil past the by-pass valve 2 through the oil fil-
ter
3. After the oil filter, an oil lead branches off to a jet 4 which sprays engine
oil onto the piston pin bearing and piston head. The second oil lead takes the
main flow of oil to the microfilter
5, which filters out even the finest impurities.
The cleaned engine oil is pumped through the oil lead and the clutch cover into
the crankshaft to the connecting rod bearing
6 and drips into the crankcase. An
additional oil pump
7 sucks the engine oil out of the crankcase and pumps it
through the oil line
8 to the gear wheels of the 4th and 5th gear. Via the gear
wheels, the engine oil reaches the oil sump. The timing chain
9 runs through the
oil sump and transports the engine oil upwards to the cylinder head. Through the
bore
bk the oil reaches the camshaft bl and the valves.
