Fuel Tank Cap

Fuel tank cap
To open the fuel tank cap:
Slide the cover to the side to show the
key lock.
Insert the key into the lock and turn the
key counterclockwise. Rotate the cap
counterclockwise and lift clear of the
tank filler neck.
To close and lock the cap:
Align the cap to the tank filler neck and
rotate the cap clockwise until the cap
seals against the filler neck.
In the fully closed position, a ratchet
mechanism prevents overtightening of
the cap by allowing the outer part of
the cap to turn independently of the
internal part.
Turn the key clockwise to lock and
remove the key.
Slide the cover back into place.
Filling the Fuel Tank
Warning
Overfilling the tank can lead to fuel
spillage.
If fuel is spilled, thoroughly clean up
the spillage immediately and dispose of
the materials used safely.
Take care not to spill any fuel on the
engine, exhaust pipes, tires or any
other part of the motorcycle.
Because fuel is highly flammable, any
fuel leak or spillage, or any failure to
observe the safety advice given above
may lead to a fire hazard, which could
cause damage to property and injury
or death to persons.
Fuel spilled near to, or onto the tires
will reduce the tires’ ability to grip the
road. This will result in a dangerous
riding condition potentially causing loss
of motorcycle control and an accident.
Caution
Avoid filling the tank in rainy or dusty
conditions where airborne material can
contaminate the fuel.
Contaminated fuel may cause damage
to fuel system components.
