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 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.
Use the ignition key to unlock
the fuel filler cap and pop the
cap open.
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.
Refuel with fuel of the grade
stated below; do not fill the
tank past the bottom edge of
the filler neck.
If filling occurs after the fuel
level has gone below the
reserve limit, the amount filled
must be greater than the reserve
amount for the new fuel level to
