Refueling procedure
Fuel is highly flammable.
Fire at the fuel tank can
result in fire and explosion.
Do not smoke. Never bring a
naked flame near the fuel tank.
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

Unlock cap of fuel tank

with
ignition key by turning it clock-
wise, and fold it up.

bottom edge of the filler neck.
