"normal operating temperature"
Once again, I am the newbie, but....
When checking the oil level, instructions state that the engine must be at "normal operating temperature" before you start the engine, wait for 30 seconds, then check the oil level.
What does this mean? The engine is 3 or 4 bars from running, or cold?
Thanks!

2 bars or more is 'normal'.....

Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

OIL CHECKING
The best/most convenient time to check is right after your ride.....no time wasted, it's at operating temp etc. Mike...

It is more than the water temperature gauge indication. It means that the metal of the engine, and the oil temperature, are within their "normal" range. As was said, the easiest way to achieve this is to ride for 5-15 minutes or more.
