Fueling
Always refuel on level ground with the sidestand down. Review the fuel warnings. See page
12. Use only the recommended fuel. See page 103. 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.
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.
1. Insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel tank filler neck.
2. Fill the fuel tank to a level just below the bottom of the fuel filler insert.
WARNING! Fuel expands in the fuel tank. Do not overfill. To prevent leaks, make sure the fuel filler cap
is properly seated.
3. Always lock the fuel cap before riding. An open fuel cap could contact the handlebars.
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.
