Filling the Fuel Tank
Warning
Overfilling the tank can lead to fuel
spillage.
If fuel is spilled, thoroughly clean up
the spillage immediately and dispose of
the materials used safely.
Take care not to spill any fuel on the
engine, exhaust pipes, tires or any
other part of the motorcycle.
Because fuel is highly flammable, any
fuel leak or spillage, or any failure to
observe the safety advice given above
may lead to a fire hazard, which could
cause damage to property and injury
or death to persons.
Fuel spilled near to, or onto the tires
will reduce the tires' ability to grip the
road. This will result in a dangerous
riding condition potentially causing loss
of motorcycle control and an accident.
Avoid filling the tank in rainy or dusty
conditions where airborne material can
contaminate the fuel.
Contaminated fuel may cause damage
to fuel system components.
Caution
General Information

spillage. Do not fill the tank to a level
above the bottom of the filler neck. This
