Refueling

z
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 rear wheel.
This results in a danger of falling.
Do not fill the tank past the bot-
tom edge of the filler neck.
Fuel attacks plastic sur-
faces, making them cloudy
or unattractive.
Wipe off any fuel that gets onto
plastic parts immediately.
Leaded fuel will destroy the
catalytic converter.
Use only unleaded fuel.
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park motorcycle.
