Choke

The choke assists in starting a cold engine. Refer to the engine starting

procedure on page 45 for correct choke and throttle settings during

starting.

Fuel Valve

The fuel valve (1) is located on the left side of

the vehicle, below the fender. It has three

positions:
OFF: For vehicle storage and when transporting.
ON: For normal operation.
RES: For reserve supply if main

supply is exhausted.

NOTE: There’s about a 7 to 10 mile

(11.2 to 16 km) range on

reserve gas. Always refill the

gas tank as soon as possible

after using the reserve supply.

Always return the valve to the ON

position after refueling.

Fuel Tank

The fuel tank filler cap (2) is located

directly below the handlebar. Use

either leaded or unleaded gasoline with

a minimum pump octane number of

87=(R+ M/2) octane. Refer to the

specifications section at the rear of this

manual for tank capacity.

Fuel Filter

The in-line fuel filter should be replaced by your dealer after every 100

hours of operation, or annually. Do not attempt to clean the fuel filter.
