approximately five minutes.
▼ Stop the engine, then wait for at
least five minutes to allow the
engine oil to settle.

the sight glass.
▼ When correct, engine oil should be
visible in the sight glass at a point
between the upper (maximum) and
lower (minimum) markings on the

NOTICE

of engine oil in the engine is only
shown when the engine is at normal
operating temperature and the
motorcycle is upright (not on the side
stand).
▼ If it is necessary to top off the oil
level, remove the engine oil filler
plug and using a suitable funnel,
add oil, a little at a time, until the
level registered in the sight glass is
correct.
CAUTION
Make sure no contamination enters
the engine during an engine oil change
or top off.
Contamination entering the engine
may lead to engine damage.
▼ When the correct level is reached,
install and tighten the engine oil
filler plug.
