LUBRICATION

4. Engine oil

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

Fold up the engine cover.

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

Take the dipstick out again and read the oil level.

The oil level should be between the markings on the dipstick. If the level is approaching the “ADD” mark, top up the oil to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick.

Never fill above the “FULL” mark.

The oil is topped up through the hole the dipstick sits in.

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 the oil level. If necessary fill so that the oil comes up to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick.

Use engine oil SAE 30 or SAE 10W/30 or, alternately, 10W/40, class SC-SH (over 0° C/+32°F).

Over +20°C/+68 °F SAE 40 can be used.

Use engine oil SAE 5W/20, class SC-SH (under 0° C/+32°F).

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