Refueling and Fuel Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to protect the engine
and catalytic converter:
●
Use only unleaded gasoline.
●
Use recommended octane number. Using
lower octane gasoline will result in decreased
engine performance.
●
Do not use fuels containing a high
concentration of alcohol.
●
Do not use stale or contaminated gasoline or
an oil/gasoline mixture.
●
Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
TCS (Traction Control System)
INTERCEPTOR DELUXE only
TCS (Traction Control System) assists you in
maintaining traction while accelerating on
slippery surfaces by regulating the engine's
power output when it senses the rear wheel
starting to lose traction.
P. 134
2
TCS does not work in case of rear wheel lock
caused by a sudden closing of the throttle.
Do not close the throttle suddenly especially on
a slippery road surface.
TCS may not compensate for rough condition
of roads or rapid and improper throttle
operations.
Always ride with sufficient caution for road and
weather conditions.
In certain unusual conditions when your
motorcycle gets stuck in shallow mud or fresh
snow, it may be easier to free it with the TCS
temporarily switched off.
It may also help to make it easier to maintain
the balance and control in such condition as
riding in an off-road terrain.
Always use the recommended tires and
sprockets to ensure correct TCS operation.
