Refuel with fuel of the grade
stated below; do not fill the
tank past the bottom edge of
the filler neck.
If filling occurs after the fuel
level has gone below the
reserve limit, the amount filled
must be greater than the reserve
amount for the new fuel level to
be recognised and the warning
light to switch off.
The “usable fuel capacity”
specified in the technical
data is the quantity that the fuel
tank could hold if it had been run
dry and the engine had cut out
due to a lack of fuel.
Usable fuel capacity
approx. 17.5 l
Reserve fuel
approx. 4 l
Press the fuel tank cap down
firmly to close.
Remove the key and close the
protective cap.
Securing motorcycle
for transportation
Make sure that all components
that might come into contact
with straps used to secure the
motorcycle are adequately pro-
tected against scratching. Use
adhesive tape or soft cloths, for
example, for this purpose.
The motorcycle can topple
and fall on its side.
Secure motorcycle against top-
pling; this is best done with the
support of a 2nd person.
Push the motorcycle onto the
transportation flat and hold it in
position: do not place it on the
side stand.
