Fuel - EBR 1190RS 2013 Owner's Manual

 REFORMULATED OR (RFG): "Reformulated
gasoline" is a term used to describe gasoline blends
that are specifically designed to burn cleaner than
other types of gasoline, leaving fewer "tailpipe"
emissions. They are also formulated to evaporate
less when you are filling your tank. Reformulated
gasoline uses additives to "oxygenate" the gas.
Your motorcycle will run normally using this type
of gas and EBR recommends you use it when pos-
sible, as an environmentally friendly alternative to
regular unleaded gasoline.
 Do not use race gas or octane boosters. Use of the-
se fuels will damage the fuel system.
You may find that some gasoline blends adversely af-
fect the starting, drivability or fuel efficiency of your
bike. If you experience one or more of these problems,
we recommend you try a different brand of gasoline or
higher octane rating.

FUEL:

Refer to Table 14. Always use a good qual-
ity unleaded gasoline. Octane ratings are usually found
on the pump.
Avoid spills. Slowly remove filler cap. Do not fill
above bottom of filler neck insert, leaving air space
for fuel expansion. Secure filler cap after refueling.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explo-
sive, which could result in death or serious injury.
Use care when refueling. Pressurized air in fuel tank
can force gasoline to escape through filler tube. Gas-
oline is extremely flammable and highly explosive,
and a serious refueling accident could result in death
or serious injury.
Modern service station pumps dispense a high flow of
gasoline into a motorcycle fuel tank making air entrap-
ment and pressurization a possibility.
