Refueling

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 es-
cape and get onto the rear
wheel. This results in a dan-
ger of falling.
Do not fill the tank past the
bottom edge of the filler
neck.
Fuel attacks plastic
surfaces, making them
cloudy or unattractive.
Wipe off any fuel that gets on-
to plastic parts immediately.
Leaded fuel will destroy
the catalytic converter.
Use only unleaded fuel.
Make sure the ground is
level and firm and park the
motorcycle.
Open the protective cap.
Open fuel tank cap with ig-
nition key by turning coun-
terclockwise.
Fill tank with fuel of quality
listed below.
The nominal value for
mileage and consump-
tion apply for the recommend-
ed fuel type.
