ENGINE OIL TANK LEVEL
|
|
|
|
The oil tank content is indicated on a dip stick
incorporated in the tank filler cap which is
removed by . pressing and turning the cap
anti-clockwise.
|
|
|
|
Access to the tank filler cap is made by:
releasing the two hand discs retaining the rider's
seat, raising the seat slightly rearwards (except
the Fastback models) and lifting it clear.
|
|
|
|
Before filling fresh oil, run the engine for
three to four minutes to return excess oil from the
crankcase, observing the oil circulating through
the oil tank filler orifice.
|
|
|
|
Allow the oil to settle in the tank, then fill
sufficient oil of a recommended grade until the
correct oil level is shown on the dipstick. The oil
level shouid not exceed the "H" mark or fall below
the "L" on the dipstick. It is most important not
to exceed the "H" to prevent oil overflowing into
the air filter, causing high oil consumption.

ENGINE OIL CHANGING
|
|
|
|
Remove the rider's seat, where applicable take
out the two right side cover top fixing bolts, and
lift the cover clear at the bottom rubber mounting.
Drain the oil from the tank by removing the oil
tank drain plug, where fitted,
|
|
|
|
(see Fig. K2, item A) or on earlier models by
taking out the oil filter unlon securing the oil
pipe (see Fig. K3). This should be carried out when
the oil is warm so that it flows more freely from
the tank. The crankcase drain plug (see Fig. K4,
item A) should be removed and the small amount of
oil in the sump allowed to drain off.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Replace the oil tank and crankcase drain plug or
on earlier models the oil filter and oil pipe. Fill
the tank to the dip stick level with fresh oil and
run the engine at a steady speed to check the oil
circulation. The oil level should not exceed the
"H" mark or fall below the "L" on the dipstick.
|
|
|
|
As the oil in the sump has been drained off, a
moment or two will elapse before the scavenge side
of the pump begins to return the oil to the tank.
