Check the engine oil level

Check the engine oil level through the sight glass (1) on the clutch cover. Check the oil level with the motorcycle upright and the engine cold. Allow a few minutes for the oil level to stabilize after stopping the engine. The oil level should be between the two marks next to the sight glass. If the level is below the bottom mark, top up with SHELL Advance Ultra 4 engine oil. Remove the oil filler cap (2) and top up until the oil reaches the required level. Replace the filler cap.
