Filling the Fuel Tank
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 make sure 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.
1. Fuel filler neck
2. Maximum fuel level
After refuelling always check that the
fuel tank cap is correctly closed.
Traction Control (TC)
WARNING
The traction control system is not a
substitute for riding appropriately for
the prevailing surface and weather
conditions. The system cannot prevent
loss of traction due to; excessive
speed when entering turns,
accelerating at a sharp lean angle and
braking.
Traction control cannot prevent the
front wheel from slipping.
Failure to follow the advice above may
lead to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
Traction control helps to maintain
traction when accelerating on wet/
slippery road surfaces. If sensors detect
that the rear wheel is losing traction
(slipping), the traction control system
will engage and alter the engine power
until traction to the rear wheel has been
restored. The traction control warning
light will flash while it is engaged and
the rider may notice a change to the
sound of the engine.
NOTICE
Traction control will not function if
there is a malfunction with the ABS.
The warning lights for the ABS,
traction control and the MIL will be
illuminated.
