General Information

Caution
The exhaust system for this motorcycle
is fitted with a catalytic converter to
help reduce exhaust emission levels.
Use of leaded fuel will damage the
catalytic converter. In addition, the
catalytic converter can be permanently
damaged if the motorcycle is allowed
to run out of fuel or if the fuel level is
allowed to get very low.
Always make sure you have adequate
fuel for your journey.
Note:
• The use of leaded fuel is illegal
in some countries, states or
territories.
Refuelling
Warning
To help reduce hazards associated with
refuelling, always observe the following
fuel safety instructions:
- Petrol (fuel) is highly flammable and
can be explosive under certain
conditions. When refuelling, turn the
ignition switch to the OFF position.
- Do not smoke.
- Do not use a mobile telephone.
- Make sure the refuelling area is well
ventilated and free from any source of
flame or sparks. This includes any
appliance with a pilot light.
- Never fill the tank until the fuel level
rises into the filler neck. Heat from
sunlight or other sources may cause
the fuel to expand and overflow
creating a fire hazard.
- After refuelling always check that the
fuel filler cap is correctly closed.
-
Because petrol (fuel) is highly
flammable, any fuel leak or spillage, or
any failure to observe the safety
advice given above will lead to a fire
hazard, which could cause damage to
property, injury to persons or death.
