7. Start the engine and let it idle for 2 – 3 minutes.
8. Stop the engine and check that the oil level is at
the upper level mark on the dipstick with the
motorcycle upright on a firm, level ground. If
necessary, add oil. Make sure there are no oil leaks.
NOTE
Please dispose of used engine oil in a manner that is
compatible with the environment. We recommend that
you take it in a sealed container to your local recycling
center. Do not throw it in the rubbish or pour it on the
ground or down a drain.
WARNING
Used engine oil may cause skin cancer if repeatedly
left in contact with the skin for prolonged periods.
Although this is unlikely unless you handle used oil
on a daily basis, it is still advisable to thoroughly
wash your hands with soap and water as soon as
possible after handling used oil.
