How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF and allow the engine to cool. Do not touch hot engine components.
- Check oil level: Verify and correct oil level as per dipstick marks.
- Inspect ventilation: Ensure louvers and ventilation openings in the Pramac enclosure are not blocked. Remove debris and verify that any ventilation fans operate.
- Oil cooler check: If your model has an external oil cooler, inspect for dirt buildup and clean with low-pressure air.
- Sensor and wiring: Locate the oil temperature sensor and inspect its connector and harness. Replace the sensor if readings are clearly incorrect compared to actual engine temperature.
