Checking the gear oil level
To check the gear oil level, first remove the plug [1]. With the motorcycle parked
in an upright position, a small quantity of oil should flow out of the indicator
opening [2]. If oil must be added, tilt the motorcycle and pour automatic gear
oil (Motorex ATF Super) into the bore.
Less oil or a poor oil quality lead to premature transmission wear. Therefore,
only use branded products (Motorex ATF Super).
Changing gear oil *
The engine must be warmed up before changing the gear oil. Park the motor-
cycle on a horizontal surface, remove the oil drain plug [3] and drain the used
oil into an appropriate container. Clean the sealing surface, mount the oil drain
plug together with the gasket and tighten to 15 Nm.
Remove stopper [4] and fill in 0.15 liters of automatic gear oil (Motorex ATF
Super). Mount the stopper and check the engine for tightness.
Less oil or a poor oil quality lead to premature transmission wear. Therefore,
only use branded products (Motorex ATF Super).
