Refueling procedure
WARNING
Fuel is highly flammable
Fire and explosion hazard
Do not smoke. Never bring
a naked flame near the fuel
tank.
ATTENTION
Component damage
Component damage due to
overfilled fuel tank
If the fuel tank is overfilled,
the excess fuel will flow
into the carbon canister and
lead to component damage
there.
Only fill the fuel tank to the
lower edge of the fuel filler
neck.
ATTENTION
Contact of fuel and plastic
surfaces
Damage to surfaces (become
unattractive or cloudy)
Immediately clean plastic
surfaces after contact with
fuel.
Put the motorcycle up on the
center stand, ensuring that it
is resting on a firm and level
support surface.
Open the protective cap 2 .
Unlock the fuel tank cap in a
clockwise direction using the
ignition key 1 and fold it up.
Refuel up to the lower edge
of the filler neck, but no
higher.
If refueling is carried out
after running on fuel re-
serve, the resulting filling ca-
pacity must be greater than the
fuel reserve so that the new
fill level is detected and the
fuel reserve indicator light is
switched off.
