FUEL FILLER CAP
The fuel fill cap is found on top of the tank.

tion.
Position the tank’s open vent pipe (2) preventing bends or crushing and
making sure that it is inserted correctly.

OFF
On the OFF position, the fuel tap is closed.

When the motorcycle is used, turn the tap to the ON position. In
this way the fuel flows to the carburetor and the tank empties up
to reserve.

the tank, do not forget to move the tap back to the ON position.
Tank capacity:
85/100 Senior and 125/144 END/MX/SMR/SMM lt. 10 (incl. reserve 1 lt.)

CHOKE COMMAND (COLD STARTER)
This command is located on the carburetor.
For MIKUNI carburetors (85cc-100cc) and KEIHIN carburetors (125cc-
144cc)
By fully extracting the choke knob (4), a passage is opened in the car -
buretor, through which the engine can suck additional fuel. In this way,
a “rich” air-fuel mix is obtained. This is necessary for starting the engine
when it is cold.
To disconnect the command, push the choke knob inwards to its original
position.
