Operation

Fueling

Always dismount the motorcycle and refuel on level ground

with the sidestand down. Review the fuel warnings. See

page 14. Use only the recommended fuel. See page 102.

WARNING! Overflows or spilled gasoline could contact a hot

engine or exhaust system and cause a fire, which could result in

serious injury or death. Do not allow gasoline to contact hot

components.
WARNING! Always open the fuel cap slowly and fill the fuel tank

slowly to prevent spillage. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Leave space in

the tank to allow for the fuel to expand.

1. To open the fuel tank cap, insert the ignition key into the

cap lock and turn it clockwise. Hold the key in this

position while lifting the cap.

2. Insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel tank filler neck.
3. Hold the nozzle while filling. Do not rest the weight of the

nozzle and hose on the filler neck. Do not leave the

nozzle unattended.

4. Add fuel to the tank until it touches the bottom edge of

the filler neck. The tank is full at this level.

5. Always close and lock the fuel cap before remounting

the motorcycle. With the key rotated clockwise, close

the fuel cap with your opposite hand and press it down

firmly. Turn the key counter-clockwise to secure the

lock.

6. If the motorcycle runs out of fuel, prime the system

before attempting to restart the engine. See page 46.

NOTICE: Fuel can damage painted surfaces and plastic parts. If

gasoline spills on the any part of the motorcycle,

immediately rinse it off with water or wipe it dry with a

clean cloth.
