Fueling and Fill Height
Fuel the motorcycle with the sidestand down and on level ground. Use only the recommended fuel (see “Fuel
Specifications” page 139). Fill the fuel tank to a level just below the bottom of the fuel filler insert.
• Do not allow gasoline to come into contact with a hot engine or exhaust system. This could cause
a fire. Immediately wipe, or rinse with water, gasoline spilled on any part of the motorcycle or
the surrounding area.
• Do not fill the fuel tank above the fuel filler insert. Overfilling the fuel tank may cause fuel to
overflow when it expands.
• Fuel may leak from an improperly seated or tightened fuel cap. Tighten the fuel cap until you
hear one or more distinct clicks. Be certain the fuel cap is properly seated and tightened before
starting the engine.
WARNING
Fuel can damage painted surfaces and plastic parts. Wipe spilled fuel immediately from the motorcycle
using a clean, dry, soft cloth.
Caution
Notice If the motorcycle has run completely out of fuel, cycle the fuel pump 4--5 times to prime the system
before starting the engine. To cycle the fuel pump, set the ignition switch to the On position and toggle the engine
stop/run switch from the Stop position to the Run position 4--5 times.
