Engine Break-in Period
Fueling and Fill Height
Fuel the motorcycle with the sidestand down and on level ground. Use only the recommended fuel (see Fuel
Specifications on page 162). Fill the fuel tank to a level just below the bottom of the fuel filler insert.
•
Do not allow gasoline to come into contact with a hot engine or exhaust system. This could cause
a fire. Immediately wipe, or rinse with water, gasoline spilled on any part of the motorcycle or
the surrounding area.
•
Do not fill the fuel tank above the fuel filler insert. Overfilling the fuel tank may cause fuel to
overflow when it expands.
•
Fuel may leak from an improperly seated fuel cap. Be sure the fuel cap properly seated and
locked before starting the engine.
WARNING
Fuel can damage painted surfaces and plastic parts. Wipe spilled fuel immediately from the motorcycle
using a clean, dry, soft cloth.
Caution
Priming the Fuel System
Notice
If the motorcycle has run completely out of fuel, prime the system before starting the engine:
Turn ignition switch to ON position. Toggle the engine stop/run switch from STOP position to RUN position 4-5 times.
