Refueling

Fuel is highly flammable.
Fire at the fuel tank can

result in fire and explosion.
Do not smoke. Never bring a
naked flame near the fuel tank.

Fuel expands when ex-
posed to heat. When the

tank is overfilled, fuel can escape
and get onto the rear wheel.
This results in a danger of falling.
Do not fill the tank past the bot-
tom edge of the filler neck.

Fuel attacks plastic sur-
faces, making them cloudy

or unattractive.
Wipe off any fuel that gets onto
plastic parts immediately.

Fuel can attack the material
of the windshield; it then

becomes dull or unsightly.
Wipe off any fuel that gets onto
the windshield immediately.

Leaded fuel will destroy the
catalytic converter.

Use only unleaded fuel.

Make sure the ground is level
and firm and park the motorcy-
cle.

Open protective cap.

Open fuel tank cap with igni-
tion key by turning it counter-
clockwise.
