Refuelling and Fuel Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to protect the engine
and catalytic converters:
●
Use only unleaded petrol.
●
Use recommended octane number. Using
lower octane petrol will result in decreased
engine performance.
●
Do not use fuels containing a high
concentration of alcohol.
●
Do not use stale or contaminated petrol or an
oil/petrol mixture.
●
Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
TCS (Traction Control System)
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. 149
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
the slippery road surface.
TCS may not compensate rough condition of
roads or rapid and improper throttle operations.
Always ride with a sufficient caution to the 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 tyres to ensure
correct TCS operation.
