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 159). Fill the fuel tank to a level just below the bottom of the fuel filler insert. WARNING • 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. Caution Fuel can damage painted surfaces and plastic parts. Wipe spilled fuel immediately from the motorcycle using a clean, dry, soft cloth. 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. Notice 71
