New 1000 Serie » How to renew the lubricating oil of the engine

Warning! Do not exceed the correct level of lubricating oil in the sump especially if a closed circuit breather is fitted to the engine. If there is too much lubricating oil, the excess must be drained to the correct level. An excess of lubricating oil could enter the breather valve. This could cause the engine speed to increase rapidly without control.

Cautions:

• Discard the used lubricating oil in a safe place and in accordance with local regulations
• Ensure that the application is on a level surface to ensure an accurate reading on the dipstick.

1. Operate the engine until it is warm.
2. Stop the engine, remove the sump drain plug (A1) and its "O" ring and drain the lubricating oil from the sump.
Ensure that the "O" ring is not damaged. Fit the drain plug and its "O" ring and tighten the plug to 34 Nm (25 lbf ft) 3,5 kgf m.
3. Fill the sump to the mark (A2) on the dipstick with new and clean lubricating oil of an approved grade, refer to "Lubricating oil specification".
