Oil Pan and Relief Valve

ENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEM

If the engine oil gets extremely low or if the oil pump or oil passages clog up or otherwise do not function properly, the oil pressure warning light will light. If this light stays on when the engine is running above idle speed, stop the engine immediately and find the cause.

NOTE

Racing the engine before the oil reaches every part can cause engine seizure.

• If the motorcycle has just been used, wait several minutes for all the oil to drain down.

• Situate the motorcycle so that it is perpendicular to the ground, and check the engine oil level through the oil level gauge.

•The oil level should come up between the upper [A] and lower level lines [B].

• If the oil level is too high, remove the excess oil, using a syringe or some other suitable device.

• If the oil level is too low, add the correct amount of oil through the oil filler opening. Use the same type and make of oil that is already in the engine.

OIf the engine oil type and make are unknown, use any brand of the specified oil to top up the level in preference to running the engine with the oil level low. Then at your earliest convenience, change the oil completely.
