General Information
Filling The Fuel Tank
Avoid filling the tank in rainy or dusty
conditions where airborne material can
contaminate the fuel.
Fill the fuel tank slowly to help prevent
spillage. Do not fill the tank to a level above
the bottom of the filler neck. This will ensure
there is enough air space to allow for fuel
expansion if the fuel inside the tank expands
through absorption of heat from the engine
or from direct sunlight.

3. Air space
After refuelling always check that the fuel
filler cap is correctly closed and locked.
Contaminated fuel may cause damage to
fuel system components.
Overfilling the tank can lead to fuel
spillage.
If gasoline (fuel) is spilled, thoroughly wipe
off the spilled fuel immediately and dispose
of the cleaning cloth safely.
Take care not to spill any gasoline (fuel) on
the engine, exhaust pipes, tires or any
other part of the motorcycle.
Because gasoline (fuel) is highly
flammable, any fuel leak or spillage, or any
failure to observe the safety advice given
above will lead to a fire hazard which could
cause damage to property, injury to
persons or death.
Gasoline (fuel) spilled near to or on the
tires will reduce the tire's ability to grip the
road. This will result in a dangerous riding
condition causing loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
