PRE-OPERATION CHECK

Fuel Components

Fuel Level

1. Straddle the motorcycle on level ground and bring it to a vertical position.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and watch the fuel indicator light on the panel.

NOTE: The light will stay on if less than .8 gallons (3.08 liters) remains in the tank after starting the engine.

3. Check the fuel level.
4. Estimate your next fuel stop and plan accordingly to avoid running out of fuel.

Fuel Hose, Rail and Connections

Inspect the fuel hoses for cracks or damage. Inspect the hose connection at the fuel tank and at the fuel rail for

dampness or stains from leaking or dried fuel.

Evaporative Emission Control System (California models)

Visually inspect all evaporative emission control

system hoses and connections. Make sure all

connections are tight. Inspect the evaporative

canister (1) to make sure it has not been damaged.

The canister is located on the left side of the

motorcycle behind the side stand.
