Gasoline is extremely flammable and
toxic. Always observe the following pre-
cautions when refueling your
GASOLINE .
● Never permit motorcycle refueling by
anyone other than an adult.
● Refuel in a well ventilated area.
● Make sure the engine is off and
avoid spilling fuel on a hot engine.
● Do not smoke, and make sure there
are no open flames or sparks in the
area.
● Avoid prolonged contact with skin
and breathing of gasoline vapors.
● Keep children and pets away during
refueling.
To open the fuel tank cap, insert the igni-
tion key into the lock and turn it clockwise.
With the key inserted, lift the cap up with the
key.
To close the fuel tank cap, push the cap
down firmly with the key in the cap lock.
WARNING
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop adding
fuel when the fuel level reaches the bot-
tom of the filler neck. If you fill the tank
beyond this level, fuel may overflow

CLEANING PROCEDURE
A thorough cleaning of your motorcycle is

a necessary part of maintenance and will
help keep your motorcycle looking and per-
forming its best. Proper cleaning can also
extend the life of your motorcycle.
It is important to clean and inspect your
motorcycle after every ride if it is used in
mud, brush, grass, water, salt water, or very
dusty conditions.
● Engine Stalling The build-up of mud, brush, grass, etc,

Do not use high pressure washers to
WHEN KEEPING FOR LONG PERIOD clean your motorcycle.
1. Supply the enough fuel in the fuel tank.
2. Do drain wholly the fuel in the carburetor. ◉ WASHING YOUR motorcycle
3. Remove the battery from the motorcycle. With some care, your motorcycle can be
washed in a similar manner to washing an
automobile.
N O T E
Avoid spraying or allowing water to flow
over the following places :
● Spark plug
● Fuel tank cap
● Carburetor
79
Use a garden hose at low pressure to
remove the majority of dirt or other debris.
Hand wash your motorcycle with a mild
soap or detergent and water. Try to thor-
oughly remove all dirt and debris without
excessive water pressure. Cloth rags,
washing mitts or cleaning brushes can be
used, be careful with brushes as they may
scratch plastic or painted surfaces. Rinse
the motorcycle thoroughly with clean water.
Dry all areas using a chamois or soft
absorbent cloth.
◉ INSPECTION AFTER CLEANING

Remove the rags or wrapping from the
exhaust pipe. For extended life of your
motorcycle, lubricate according to
“GENERAL LUBRICATION”section.
WARNING
Operating motorcycle with wet brakes
can be hazardous.
Wet brakes may not provide as much
stopping power as dry brakes. This
could lead to an accident.
Test your brakes after washing motor-
cycle, while riding at slow speed. If nec-
essary, apply brakes several times to let
friction dry out the pads.
Follow the procedures in the“INSPEC-

TION BEFORE RIDING”section to check
your motorcycle for any problems that may
have arisen during your last ride.
