Refuelling
 Warning:
Fuel is flammable and explo-
sive. Do not smoke. Never
bring a naked flame near the
fuel tank.
The fuel expands when hot
(for instance if the fuel tank is
in the sun). For this reason,
only fill as far as the lower
edge of the filler neck.
 Attention:
Note that fuel containing lead
will destroy the catalytic con-
verter. Do not run the fuel tank
dry or you may damage the en-
gine or catalytic converter.
• Place motorcycle on main (centre) stand
– Make sure the ground is level and firm.
• Open fuel filler cap
