GENERAL INFORMATION
66
Fill the fuel tank slowly to help prevent
spillage. Do not fill the tank to a level
above the bottom of the filler neck. This
will make sure there is enough air space
to allow for fuel expansion if the fuel
inside the tank expands through
absorption of heat from the engine or
from direct sunlight.

After refueling always check that the
fuel filler cap is correctly closed.
Traction Control (TC)
Warning
Traction control is not a substitute for
riding appropriately for the prevailing
road and weather conditions.
The traction control cannot prevent
loss of traction due to:
- Excessive speed when entering
turns
- Accelerating at a sharp lean angle
- Braking
- Traction control cannot prevent the
front wheel from slipping.
Failure to observe any of the above
may result in loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Traction control helps to maintain
traction when accelerating on wet/
slippery road surfaces. If sensors detect
that the rear wheel is losing traction
(slipping), the traction control system
will engage and alter the engine power
until traction to the rear wheel has been
restored. The traction control warning
light will flash while it is engaged and
the rider may notice a change to the
sound of the engine.
Note
Traction control will not function if there
is a malfunction with the ABS. The
warning lights for the ABS, traction
control and the MIL will be illuminated.
