tent of 10 %, i.e. E10.

Refuelling

Fuel is highly flammable. A
naked flame close to the
fuel tank can cause a fire or ex-
plosion.
Do not smoke. Never bring a
naked flame near the fuel tank.
Fuel expands when hot.
Fuel escaping from an
overfilled tank could make its way
onto the road surface. This could
cause a fall.
Do not overfill the fuel tank.
Fuel attacks plastics, which
become dull or unsightly.
Wipe plastic parts immediately
after contact with fuel.
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
Open the protective cap 2.
