OPERATION

Engine Break-in Period

Fueling and Fill Height

Fuel the motorcycle with the sidestand down and on level ground. Use only the recommended fuel (see “Fuel

Specifications” on page 172). 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 sure 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.
