Refueling
Never overfill the tank when refuelling. Fuel should
never be touching the rim of filler recess.
Warning
The fuel pressure inside the tank may, in extreme
cases, cause fuel to “spray” when opening the fuel
cap.
Always open the fuel cap slowly and carefully during
the refill.
If you hear an audible hiss from the cap while
opening it, wait until the stop of the hissing before
opening it completely.
The sound is residual pressure escaping from the
fuel tank, therefore the stop of the hiss indicates
that there is no more residual pressure.
The situation described above is more likely in hot
weather conditions.
Attention
Use fuel with low lead content and an original
octane number of at least 95.
Attention
The motorcycle is only compatible with fuel
having a maximum content of ethanol of 10% (E10).
Using fuel with ethanol content over 10% is
forbidden. Using it could result in severe damage of
the engine and motorcycle components. Using fuel
with ethanol content over 10% will make the
warranty null and void.
