FUEL ENRICHENER CONTROLS
For S&S Motors the fuel enrichener lever is located on the air cleaner backing plate, which is located underneath the
right side of the fuel tank. For TP motors the fuel enrichener knob is located just above the coil.
Pull up/out on the fuel enrichener lever to place it in the ON position for cold engine starts. After the engine has
warmed up, press down/in on the fuel enrichener lever to place it in the OFF position.
Do not leave the fuel enrichener lever in the ON position after the engine has warmed up or when starting a warm
engine. Please refer to the section on hot and cold starting your motorcycle.
CAUTION: NEVER ALLOW ENGINE TO IDLE, WHILE MOTORCYCLE IS STANDING STILL FOR MORE THAN A
FEW MINUTES BECAUSE OVERHEATING AND ENGINE DAMAGE MAY OCCUR.
FUEL CAPS
The fuel tank is fitted with its own gas cap. Take care not to cross gas cap threads during reattachment. To remove
the gas cap, turn the cap counterclockwise. To secure the cap, turn it clockwise.
WARNING
USE CAUTION WHEN REMOVING FUEL CAPS. TO MINIMIZE THE CHANCE OF FUEL SPILLS, KEEP THE
MOTORCYCLE LEVEL AND REMOVE THE FUEL CAP SLOWLY, ALLOWING ANY BUILT UP PRESSURE
TO ESCAPE. CLEAN UP ANY FUEL THAT MAY HAVE SPILLED IMMEDIATELY. IF GASOLINE IS NOT
CLEANED UP IMMEDIATELY, IT MAY DAMAGE THE PAINT FINISH ON YOUR MOTORCYCLE.
CAUTION: GASOLINE WITH FUEL ADDITIVES MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO VEHICLE PARTS. GASOLINE
SPILLS CAN DISCOLOR VEHICLE PAINT AND FINISHES. CLEAN ALL AFFECTED SURFACES IMMEDIATELY.
BRAKE SYSTEM
The front brake lever is on the right handlebar, in front of the throttle grip. To activate the front brake, pull the front
brake lever toward the throttle grip with the fingers of your right hand. The rear brake foot pedal on the right hand side
operates the rear wheel brake. Using your foot to press down on the rear brake foot pedal activates the rear brakes.
Brakes should be applied uniformly and gradually without locking wheels.
WARNING
DO NOT APPLY EITHER BRAKE STRONGLY ENOUGH TO LOCK THE WHEEL BECAUSE THIS MAY
CAUSE THE WHEEL TO SKID WITH POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE MOTORCYCLE. FOR THIS
REASON, EXERCISE CAUTION, ESPECIALLY WHEN APPLYING THE FRONT DISC BRAKES.
