Engine Oil Level Inspection
DANGER
Never start the engine or run the
engine in a confined area.
Always operate the motorcycle in the
open air or in an area with adequate
ventilation.
Exhaust fumes are poisonous and will
cause loss of consciousness and death
within a short period of time.
WARNING
Make sure the motorcycle is stabilized
and adequately supported.
Do not support the motorcycle on
any ancillary component, the exhaust
system or any other non structural
parts of the motorcycle frame.
A correctly supported motorcycle will
help prevent it from falling.
An unstable motorcycle may fall
resulting in motorcycle damage,
serious injury or death.
WARNING
Make sure that the engine oil level
is correct and the oil is changed
in accordance with the scheduled
maintenance requirements.
Motorcycle operation with insufficient,
deteriorated, or contaminated engine
oil will cause accelerated engine
wear and may result in engine or
transmission seizure.
Seizure of the engine or transmission
may lead to sudden loss of motorcycle
control which could result in serious
injury or death.
CAUTION
If the engine has recently been
running, the exhaust components may
be hot to the touch.
To avoid skin damage, always allow the
hot parts to cool before touching the
exhaust system.
Contact with the hot components may
cause minor to moderate injury to
exposed skin.
NOTICE
If the engine oil pressure is too low,
the low oil pressure warning light will
illuminate.
If the low oil pressure indicator
remains on, stop the engine
immediately and investigate the
situation.
Running the engine with low oil
pressure will cause severe engine
damage.
