Figure 10. Fuel tank cap
To open the cover, turn it counterclockwise and lift it up. To close the lid, turn it clockwise until it clicks. There is a ratchet on the lid; by listening to its sound you can avoid over-tightening the lid.
Note. The fuel tank cap must be turned approximately 3/4 of a turn before it opens freely.
See chapter Safe driving rules and the safety overview below.
Warning! When refueling your motorcycle, do not spill fuel. Immediately wipe up any fuel that spills on your motorcycle. Fuel can damage surfaces and degrade the appearance of the motorcycle.
Warning! Motorcycles equipped with catalytic converters should only use fuel without lead additives. When using fuel with lead additives, emissions regulations may be violated.
Warning! Do not store a motorcycle with gasoline in the fuel tank in a house or garage if there are electric motors, constantly on pilot lights and burners, open flame sources, or ignition devices. Gasoline is extremely flammable and explodes, causing serious injury or death.
Warning! Be careful not to spill gasoline. Slowly unscrew the gas cap and remove it. Do not pour gasoline above the bottom of the gas filler neck insert; leave room for the fuel to expand. After filling the gas tank with gasoline, screw the gas cap tightly. Gasoline is extremely flammable and explodes, causing serious injury or death.
