Upper oil boundary mark
(C)

Oil maintenance procedure:
1.
Place the motorcycle on a flat work area.
2.
Wipe down the oil filler cap (A) and surrounding engine area.
3.
Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes. Stop the engine. Wait a few minutes until the oil resettles.
4.
Unscrew and remove the oil filler cap/dipstick, then thoroughly wipe it down with a rag.
5.
Stand the motorcycle into an upright position and ensure it is not leaning to the side.
6.
Re-insert the dipstick until it seats, but do not screw it in.
7.
Then remove the dipstick and inspect the oil level. If the oil is at or near the upper oil boundary mark (B), do not add oil, but
if the oil is below or near the lower oil boundary mark (C), add the recommended oil until it reaches the upper oil boundary
mark. Be sure not to put in so much oil that it surpasses the upper oil boundary mark.
8.
Re-insert the dipstick and secure tightly.
