Refueling

5
Fuel is highly flammable.
Fire at the fuel tank can
50
result in fire and explosion.
Do not smoke. Never bring a
naked flame near the fuel tank.
Fuel attacks plastic sur-
faces, making them cloudy
or unattractive.
z
Immediately wipe off plastic parts
after contact with fuel.
Make sure ground is level and
firm and place motorcycle on
side stand.
The available fuel tank vol-
ume can only be optimally
used with the vehicle standing on
the side stand.
Open protective cap.
Unlock cap of fuel tank 1 with
motorcycle key and fold open.
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.
Leaded fuel will destroy the
catalytic converter.
Use only unleaded fuel.
Refuel with quality listed below
at most until lower edge of filler
neck is reached.
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.

ity

10 % ethanol, E10)
