Note. Be sure the battery is fully charged.
Warning! Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. Make sure the area is well-ventilated and free from any source of flame or sparks; this includes any appliance with a pilot light. Do not smoke. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Be prepared for fuel spillage; any spilled fuel must be completely wiped up immediately.
Turn both ignition switch, and engine stop switch OFF.
Wait until the engine cools down.
Open the fuel tank cap [A] to lower the pressure in the tank.

Prepare a plastic hose of the inside diameter 7.5 mm x L = about 400 mm and a measuring cylinder.
Remove:
- Seat (see Seat removal in the Frame chapter)
- Fuel Tank Bolts
Raise the fuel tank.
Stuff a clean shop towel around the fuel outlet hose joint.
While pinching the locks of the hose joint #1 with fingers, disconnect the joint (see Fuel tank removal) and insert the plastic hose [A] quickly onto the tank outlet pipe.
Secure the plastic hose with a clamp [B].
Run the other side of the plastic hose into the measuring cylinder [C].
Temporarily install the fuel tank and close the fuel tank cap.

Warning! Wipe off spilled out fuel immediately. Be sure to hold the measuring cylinder vertical.
With the engine stopped, turn the ignition switch ON. The fuel pump should operate for 3 seconds, and then should stop. Repeat this several times until the plastic hose is filled with fuel.
Measure the discharge for 3 seconds with the plastic hose filled with fuel.
Amount of fuel flow:
- Standard: 50 mL (1.7 US oz.) or more for 3 seconds
★ If the fuel flow is much less than the specified, check the battery condition (see Charging condition inspection in the Electrical System chapter). If the battery is good, replace the fuel pump.
After inspection, connect the fuel hoses, and install the fuel tank (see Fuel tank installation).
Start the engine and check for no fuel leakage.
