Because of the generally higher volatility of
oxygenated fuels, starting, engine
response and fuel consumption may be
adversely affected by their use. Should any
of these difficulties be experienced, run the
motorcycle on normal unleaded gasoline.
To help reduce hazards associated with
refuelling, always observe the following
fuel safety instructions:
Gasoline (fuel) is highly flammable and can
be explosive under certain conditions.
When refuelling, turn the ignition switch to
the OFF position.
Do not smoke.
Do not use a mobile telephone.
Make sure the refuelling area is well
ventilated and free from any source of
flame or sparks. This includes any
appliance with a pilot light.
Never fill the tank until the fuel level rises
into the filler neck. Heat from sunlight or
other sources may cause the fuel to
expand and overflow creating a fire
hazard.
After refuelling always check that the fuel
filler cap is correctly closed and locked.
Because gasoline (fuel) is highly
flammable, any fuel leak or spillage, or any
failure to observe the safety advice given
above will lead to a fire hazard, which
could cause damage to property, injury to
persons or death.
