8. Engine oil

Check the oil level in the engine when the Rider stands horizontal with the engine switched off.

Open the engine cover.

Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean. Now insert the dipstick again, without tightening it.

Take out the dipstick again and read the oil level.

The oil level should be between the marks on the dipstick. If the level is close to the ”ADD” mark, top up with oil to the ”FULL” mark on the dipstick. Never fill above the ”FULL” mark.

Oil is added through the hole that the dipstick sits in.

Use SAE 30 or SAE 10W-30 grade engine oil, or 10W/40, class SF–SJ (above 0° C/+32°F).

SAE 40 oil can be used above +20°C/+68°F.

Use SAE 5W-20 engine oil, class SF–SJ (below 0° C/+32°F).

Fill the oil slowly. Tighten the dipstick correctly before starting the engine. Start and run the engine at idling speed for approx. 30 seconds. Turn off the engine. Wait 30 seconds and check oil level. If necessary fill so that the oil comes up to the FULL mark on the dipstick.

The engine holds 1.5 litres of oil, excluding the filter (1.7 litres including filter).
