Fueling

Always dismount the motorcycle and refuel on level ground with the sidestand down. Review the fuel warnings. Use only the recommended fuel. See Fuel Recommendation. 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.

WARNING

Always remove the fuel cap slowly and fill the fuel tank slowly to prevent spillage. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Leave space in the tank to allow for the fuel to expand.

Turn the fuel cap counter-clockwise to remove it.
Insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel tank filler neck. The nozzle-stop at the bottom of the filler neck will prevent over-insertion.
Add fuel to the tank until it touches the bottom edge of the filler neck. The tank is full at this level.
Always securely install the fuel cap before remounting the motorcycle. To tighten the cap, turn it clockwise until the seal compresses onto the tank, then continue to tighten until the cap ratchets several times.

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.
