The choke assists in starting a cold engine. Refer to the engine starting
procedure on page 59 for correct choke and throttle settings during
starting.
Fuel Valve
The fuel valve (1) is located on the left side of
the vehicle, either below the fender or on the
side panel. 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 valve to “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 your
owner’s manual supplement 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.
