Checking oil level
e Attention:
The red warning light
p (b7)
for engine oil pressure indicates
that the oil pump is delivering
very little oil or none at all: do
not regard this light as an oil
level indicator. Oil pressure
builds up after 1 – 2 seconds
and the warning light goes out –
the red engine oil pressure
warning light
p should remain
off when the engine is running.
Check the oil level regularly,
each time you stop for fuel (or
every second time at the latest).
e Attention:
The dipstick might show a low
oil level if the motorcycle has
been out of use for a lengthy
period. Under these circum-
stances top up the oil level only
after measuring the oil level in
accordance with the instruc-
tions.
Check the oil level only when
the engine is at operating tem-
perature.
Checking the oil level when the
engine is cold, just after the en-
gine has been run briefly or
when it is not properly warm will
falsify the reading, and could
lead to the engine being operat-
ed with the wrong quantity of oil
in the system.
