NOTICE
Racing the engine before the oil reaches every part can cause engine seizures.

• Clean the clutch cover around the oil filler cap/dipstick.
  NOTICE
  Be careful not to allow any dirt or foreign materials to enter the engine.
• With the motorcycle perpendicular to the ground, unscrew the oil filler cap/dipstick, wipe the dipstick on the cap dry, and reinsert it by screwing.
