Use only clean, fresh unleaded gasoline with a
minimum Anti-Knock Index of 92 or higher.
Fill the tank with the specified fuel before every
ride.
We recommend that the inline fuel filter is replaced
every 5 hours of operation for the best performance.
See the Maintenance and Adjustment section of this
manual.
CAUTION
If engine “knocking” or pinging occurs, use a
different brand of gasoline or a higher octane
rating.
Never experiment by using fuels other than
the recommended type in this vehicle. Other
fuels or additives that are not designed
specifically for this vehicle can severely
damage the engine and its supporting
components (e.g. fuel system, sensors, tank,
hoses, etc.)
1.
Remove the fuel cap and fill the tank with fuel
until it reaches the bottom of the filler neck.
2.
Tighten the fuel cap securely and make sure
the breather hose is undamaged and routed
correctly.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Improper care when handling fuel.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Fuel is highly flammable, spilling it can cause a fire
or explosion.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Work in a well-ventilated area which is free of
sources that could ignite any spilled fuel
accidentally (e.g. cigarettes, welders, torches,
grinders, electric shop tools, etc.)
1. Fuel level
2. Filler neck
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Overfilling the fuel tank
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Fuel expands due to heat (e.g., engine, sun) and may
overflow if the tank is overfilled, resulting in a fire.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Stop adding fuel when the correct level is reached.
