Re: How do I check my oil?

Do the first service fully as though it was at the 800 mile mark, including the valve adjustment, then go ride and have fun!! :D t...

The older models could flatten the battery to the point of not being able to start again, whereas the 2015's have an up-rated battery and circuitry to check battery condition and disable ...
