3. 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 SF-SJ (over 0° C/+32°F).
Over +20°C/+68 °F SAE 40 can be used.
Use engine oil SAE 5W/20, class SF-SJ
(under 0° C/+32°F).
The engine holds 1.5 litres of oil excluding the filter
(including filter 1.7 litres).
