An accurate indication of the level of oil in the engine is only shown when the engine
is cold and the motorcycle is on the side stand.
This method of checking the engine oil is especially important to make sure the oil
volume is distributed correctly because this model has a dry sump engine. Failure to
follow this method will result in an inaccurate indication of oil in the engine.
• Using a suitable funnel, fill the engine with 4.6 litres of new semi or fully synthetic
15W/50 motorcycle engine oil which meets specification API SH (or higher) and
JSO MA, such as Castrol Power 1 4T.
• Fit the dipstick, start the engine and allow it to idle for 60 to 90 seconds.
Do not operate the throttle while the engine is at idle. This will give an inaccurate oil
level on the engine oil dipstick.
• Make sure that the low oil pressure warning light remains off after starting and a
warning message is not shown in the display screen.
• Stop the engine, then wait for at least three minutes to allow the oil to settle.
• Add the recommended engine oil, a little at a time, up to the maximum mark on
the engine oil dipstick.
Raising the engine speed above idle before the oil reaches all parts of the engine can
cause engine damage or seizure. Only raise engine speed after running the engine for
60 to 90 seconds to allow the oil to circulate fully.
