Warning
Draining or extraction of fuel from a
fuel tank must be carried out in a well
ventilated area.
The receptacle used to contain the
fuel must be more than adequate for
the full amount of fuel to be extracted
or drained. The receptacle should be
clearly marked with its contents, and
placed in a safe storage area which
meets the requirements of local
authority regulations.
When fuel has been extracted
or drained from a fuel tank, the
precautions governing naked lights
and ignition sources should be
maintained.
Failure to observe any of the above
warnings could bring about a safety
hazard leading to a risk of personal
injury.
To raise the fuel tank:
• Remove the passenger seat/seat
cowl, see page 76.
• Remove the rider seat, see page 77.
• Remove the battery, see page 140.

automotive workshop equipment
approved for fuel handling, drain the
