Checking the gear oil level

To check the gear oil level, first remove the plug

[1]. With the motorcycle parked

in an upright position, a small quantity of oil should flow out of the indicator

opening

[2]. If oil must be added, tilt the motorcycle and pour automatic gear

oil (Motorex ATF Super) into the bore.

Less oil or a poor oil quality lead to premature transmission wear. Therefore,

only use branded products (Motorex ATF Super).

Changing gear oil *

The engine must be warmed up before changing the gear oil. Park the motor-

cycle on a horizontal surface, remove the oil drain plug

[3] and drain the used

oil into an appropriate container. Clean the sealing surface, mount the oil drain

plug together with the gasket and tighten to 15 Nm.

Remove stopper

[4] and fill in 0.15 liters of automatic gear oil (Motorex ATF

Super). Mount the stopper and check the engine for tightness.

Less oil or a poor oil quality lead to premature transmission wear. Therefore,

only use branded products (Motorex ATF Super).
