Fuel expands when ex-
posed to heat. When the
tank is overfilled, fuel can escape
and get onto the road. This re-
sults in a danger of falling.
Do not overfill the fuel tank.
Fuel attacks plastic sur-
faces, making them cloudy
or unattractive.
Immediately wipe off plastic parts
after contact with fuel.
Place motorcycle on the center
stand, ensuring that it is resting
on a firm and level support sur-
face.
Open protective cap 2 .
Unlock cap of fuel tank 1 with
ignition key by turning it clock-
wise, and fold it up.
Do not fill the tank past the
bottom edge of the filler neck.
When refueling after run-
ning on reserve, make sure
that you top up the tank to a
level above reserve, as other-
wise the sensor will not be able
to register the new level and the
fuel warning lamp will not be
switched off.
The "usable fuel quantity"
indicated in the Technical
data is the fuel quantity, which
can be refueled, if the fuel tank
was completely emptied, i.e., if
the engine dies off due to lack of
fuel.
