2.1.9. GEARBOX FLUID

INSPECTION

• Check gearbox fluid level every 4000 km (2500 mi);

change gearbox fluid after the first 1000 km (625 mi)

and every 12000 km (7500 mi) afterwards, see

(CHANGING GEARBOX FLUID).

CHECK

CAUTION Place the vehicle on a firm and flat surface.

• Stop the engine and allow 10 minutes for the oil to

settle down in the crankcase and cool down.

• Remove the left side fairing, see (REMOVING THE

SIDE FAIRINGS).

• Hold the vehicle upright with both wheels on the

ground.

NOTE The operations described above are critical to

ensuring correct oil level measurement.

• Level should be between one quarter (MIN) up to

halfway (MAX) up the sight glass (1).

NOTE Level should never drop below one quarter or exceed

mid-level of the sight glass. A too low level could lead to

severe engine damage; on the other hand, excess fluid

would leak out.

TOPPING UP

• If level needs to be topped up:

• Unscrew and remove the filler plug (2).

• Fill in a small amount of fluid and wait one minute for

fluid to settle down in the crankcase.

• Check the level is between one quarter (MIN) up to

halfway (MAX) up the sight glass (1).

• If not so, top up gradually adding small amounts of

fluid and checking the sight glass (1) each time, until

bringing fluid to the specified (MAX) level.

• When finished, tighten the filler plug (2).

• Ensure that the filler plug is tightened firmly and fluid

cannot leak out.

WARNING

Periodically check that there are no leaks at the

crankcase cover gasket.

Using the vehicle with insufficient lubrication or

with contaminated or inadequate lubricants will

lead to early wear of moving parts and

may result in irreparable damage.
