Fuel
This motorcycle is equipped with separate lubrication. This means that the
two-stroke oil required for engine lubrication is not admixed to the fuel but
contained in a separate oil tank (see below). An oil pump is used for con-
trolled admixing of two-stroke oil into the fuel in the carburetor.
Besides, the motorcycle is equipped with a catalytic converter. Therefore, it
is absolutely necessary to fill in unleaded fuel.
Fuel:
UNLEADED REGULAR GASOLINE WITH AT LEAST 91 OCTANES (RON)
Fuel expands when its temperature rises. Therefore do not fill the tank to
the top (see fig.).
Fuel tank capacity 11,0 liter

empties down to the fuel reserve of approx. 3 liters.
RES The reserve tank, approximately 3 liters, cannot be tapped until the
twist grip is turned to the RES position. Fill the tank as soon as possible
and remember to turn the twist grip back to the ON position so that
