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 160). 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 fuel cap. Be sure the fuel cap properly seated and locked
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
Priming the Fuel System
Notice If the motorcycle has run completely out of fuel, prime the system before starting the engine: Turn the ignition
switch to the ON position. Toggle the engine stop/run switch from the STOP position to the RUN position.
Allow the fuel pump to run until it stops (about 3 seconds). Toggle the switch to the STOP position and wait
3 seconds to allow the engine control module to reset. Repeat the RUN/STOP procedure 4-5 times, waiting
3 seconds between each toggle.
