Do not fill the tank past the
bottom edge of the filler neck.
When refueling after run-
ning on reserve, make sure
that you top up the tank to a
level above reserve, as other-
wise the sensor will not be able
to register the new level and the
fuel warning lamp will not be
switched off.
The "usable fuel quantity"
indicated in the Technical
data is the fuel quantity, which
can be refueled, if the fuel tank
was completely emptied, i.e., if
the engine dies off due to lack of
fuel.
Usable fuel quantity
Approx. 6.6 gal (Approx. 25 l)
Reserve fuel quantity
Approx. 1.1 gal (Approx. 4 l)
Press fuel tank cap down firmly

Steering lock is unlocked.
Fuel is highly flammable.
Fire at the fuel tank can
result in fire and explosion.
Do not smoke. Never bring a
naked flame near the fuel tank.
Fuel expands when ex-
posed to heat. When the
tank is overfilled, fuel can escape
and get onto the road. This re-
sults in a danger of falling.
Do not overfill the fuel tank.
Fuel attacks plastic sur-
faces, making them cloudy
or unattractive.
Immediately wipe off plastic parts
after contact with fuel.
Place motorcycle on center
stand, ensuring that it is resting
on a firm and level support sur-
face.
