4. Do not attempt “custom” alterations such as extended
forks or frame modifications.
5. Never attach or attempt using a sidecar.
6. Modifications and/or additional electrical equipment is
not recommended. Any alterations of the 2005 electrical
system (turn signals, additional lighting, etc.) could cause
an overloading of printed circuits.
FUEL SYSTEM:
Use only unleaded gasoline. Ethanol
blended gasoline is approved as long as it has 87 octane
minimum. Methanol or methanol blended fuel is
NOT
ap-
proved for use in your Big Dog Motorcycle.
Do not use decorative type
fuel cap covers, which may
possibly cause the caps to loosen from the tank
upon impact. Big Dog motorcycles do not come equipped
with a fuel gauge. It is advisable to always reset your trip
odometer to “0” after refueling and get to know the range
of your motorcycle.
FUELING SAFETY:
Gasoline is extremely flammable and
is explosive under certain conditions. Remove each fuel
filler cap slowly. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the
engine turned off. Do not smoke or allow open flames or
sparks when refueling or servicing the fuel system. Always
close the fuel supply valve when the engine is not running
to prevent flooding of the carburetor. Do not fill fuel tanks
above the bottom of the filler neck insert. (See illustration.)
Leave air space to allow for fuel expansion. Wipe up spills
immediately. Many service stations have high volume pumps.
These pumps can cause pressure to build in your fuel tank
and force fuel out the vent creating a health and fire hazard.
Never walk away from the pump while fueling is in progress,
always maintain control over the nozzle while fueling.
FUEL TANK FILLER CAP:
Remove fuel filler cap slowly.
Leave air space to allow for fuel expansion. Expansion can
cause an overfilled tank to overflow gasoline through the
filler cap onto surrounding areas. After refueling, be sure
fuel filler cap is securely tightened.
