Make sure ground is level and
firm and place motorcycle at
operating temperature on its

After longer motorcycle im-
mobilization periods, en-
gine oil can collect in the oil pan;
this must be pumped into the oil
tank before the reading is taken.
Here, the engine oil must be at
operating temperature. Checking
the oil level with the engine cold
or after a short trip leads to mis-
interpretations and therefore to
incorrect oil fill quantities.
To ensure that the display of the
engine oil level is correct, only
check the oil level after a longer
trip.
Let the engine run in neutral
for one minute.
Switch off ignition.
