Checking engine oil level (fig. 78)
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 cold.
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.
Important
Engine oil and oil filters must be changed by a
Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop at regular
intervals, as specified in the routine maintenance
chart (see Warranty Card).
