Adjusting idle speed *
The idle speed can be adjusted with screw 1.
Turn the screw clockwise to increase the idle speed.
Turn the screw counterclockwise to reduce the idle speed.
Checking gear oil level
An inspection glass 2 on the left side of the engine allows easy checking of
the gear oil level.
Warm up the engine, then turn it off and wait two minutes until the oil has
flown back into the gearbox case.
Park the motorcycle straight on a horizontal surface and check the oil level.
The oil level must not drop below the "MIN" mark of the inspection glass.
Note: If the motorcycle is not parked properly for the oil level inspection it
will not be possible to achieve a reliable result.
If necessary add gear oil SAE 80 EP (i.ex. Shell Advance Gear 80 EP).

Changing gear oil *
Before changing the gear oil warm up the engine and park the motorcycle
on a horizontal surface. Remove the oil drain plug

into an appropriate container. Clean the sealing surface. Mount the oil drain
plug together with its gasket and tighten with 15 Nm (11 ft.lb).
Remove the filler plug
4 and add 0.30 l gear oil SAE 80 EP (i.ex. Shell
Advance Gear 80 EP).
Mount the filler plug and check the engine for leaks.
