Fuel cock is located on fuel tank at the left side of the
vehicle. Fuel cock has the following three positions,
RES : When the fuel cock is in RES position, fuel will
flow from the reserve fuel supply of the tank
to the carburettor. It is advised to use the
reserve fuel only when the fuel is not flowing
in ON position.
ON : When the fuel cock is in ON position, fuel will
flow from the fuel tank to the carburettor.
OFF : When the fuel cock is in OFF position, fuel
does not flow from fuel tank to carburettor.

Leaving the fuel cock in ON or RESERVE position
when the vehicle is not in use may cause the fuel tank
to completely drain out, incase of any malfunctioning
of carburettor float system.
Do not position the fuel cock lever between ON and
OFF position as this may drain off entire fuel while
riding the vehicle.
Note
Before riding the motorcycle, it is necessary to

supply.
