WARNING
●Always turn off the engine when refuel-
ing.
●Do not refuel right after the engine has
been running and is still very hot.
●Do not spill gasoline on the engine or ex-
haust pipe/muffler when refueling. Never
refuel while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or other
sources of ignition such as the pilot lights
of water heaters and clothes dryers. Gas-
oline can catch fire and you could be
burned.
●When transporting the machine in anoth-
er vehicle, be sure it is kept upright and
that the fuel cock is in the “OFF” position.
Otherwise, fuel may leak out of the carbu-
retor or fuel tank.
●Gasoline is poisonous. If you should swal-
low some gasoline or inhale a lot of gaso-
line vapor, or get some gasoline in your
eyes, see your doctor immediately. If gas-
oline spills on your skin, wash with soap
and water. If gasoline spills on your cloth-
ing, change your clothes.

Speedometer
The speedometer shows riding speed. This
speedometer is equipped with an odometer
and trip odometer. The trip odometer can be
reset to “0” with the reset knob. Use the trip
odometer to estimate how far you can ride on
a tank of fuel before going to reserve. This in-
formation will enable you to plan fuel stops in
the future.
EBU00052
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel in
the fuel tank. When the needle reaches the red
line, refill the tank at the first opportunity.
NOTE:
If the machine runs out of fuel, move the fuel
cock lever to the “RES” position. Approximate-
ly 3 L of fuel will be remaining in the tank.1. Fuel gauge

Fuel cock
The fuel cock supplies fuel from the fuel tank to
the carburetor.
The fuel cock has three positions.
OFF: With the lever in this position fuel will
not flow. Always turn the lever to this
position when the engine is not running.
ON: With the lever in this position, fuel flows
to the carburetor. Normal riding is done
with the lever in this position.
RES: This indicates reserve. If you run out of
fuel while riding, turn the lever to this
position. THEN FILL THE FUEL TANK AT
THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY. After refuel-
ling, return the fuel cock lever to the
“ON” position.

WARNING
●Do not overfill the fuel tank. Fuel expands
when it heats up. If the fuel tank is over-
filled, fuel could spill out due to heat from
the engine or the sun.
●Be careful not to spill fuel, especially on
the engine or exhaust pipe which can
cause a fire and severe injury. Wipe up
any spilled fuel immediately.
●Do not refuel right after the engine has
been running and is still very hot.
●Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed secure-
ly.
