Minimum tread depth

Measure tread depth (S, fig. 40) at the point where tread

is most worn down. It should not be less than 2

mm/0.078 in. and anyway not below the legal limit.

Important

Visually inspect the tyres at regular intervals for

detecting cracks and cuts, especially on the side walls,.

bulges or large spots that are indicative of internal

damage. Replace them if badly damaged.

Remove any stones or other foreign bodies caught in the

tread.

Checking engine oil level (fig. 41)

Engine oil level can be checked through the sight glass

(1) provided on the clutch cover.

When checking oil level, the motorcycle should be

upright and the engine warm.

Allow a few minutes for oil to settle to a steady level

after stopping the engine.

Oil level should be between the marks near the sight

glass. Top up oil level with SHELL Advance Ultra 4, if low.

Undo the filler plug (2) and top up to correct level.

Refit the plug.
