Catalytic converterIf misfiring causes unburned
fuel to enter the catalytic con-
verter, there is a danger of
overheating and damage.
For this reason, observe the
following points:
– Do not ride the motorcycle
with the fuel tank empty.
– Do not run the engine with
the spark-plug cap removed.
– In the event of engine misfir-
ing, stop the engine immedi-
ately.
– Only refuel using unleaded
fuel.
– Be sure to adhere to the
prescribed maintenance
intervals.
Unburned fuel destroys
the catalytic converter.
Note the points listed for
protection of the catalytic
converter.c
Risk of fireHigh temperatures occur at
the exhaust pipe.
If highly flammable mate-
rials (e.g. hay, leaves,
grass, clothing and luggage,
etc.) make contact with the hot
exhaust pipe, they can start to
burn.
Ensure that no highly flamma-
ble materials can come into
contact with the hot exhaust
system.c
–If the engine runs for a
longer period when the
motorcycle is stationary, the
cooling is inadequate and
overheating can occur. In
extreme cases, the motorcy-
cle could catch fire.
Do not let the engine run for
unnecessary periods when the motorcycle is stationary.
After starting, move off
immediately.c
Manipulation of the engine
electronics control unit
Manipulation of the engine
electronics control unit can
cause damage to the motorcy-
cle and therefore lead to acci-
dents. Do not manipulate the en-
gine electronics control unit.c
Any manipulation of the
engine electronics
control unit can lead to
mechanical loads for which
the components of the motor-
cycle are not configured. Dam-
age caused in this way invali-
dates the warranty.
Do not manipulate the engine
electronics control unit.c

• Fill up the tank with fuel of
the approved quality.
• Close the fuel tank cap with
firm pressure.
• Remove the key and close
the protective cap.Fuel quality
Leaded fuel destroys the
catalytic converter.
Use only unleaded fuel.c
The engine is designed to run
on:– Premium grade unleaded
fuel (98 ROZ/RON, 88 MOZ/
MON)
Fill up preferably with this fuel
to comply with the nominal
values for performance and
fuel consumption.
In addition, the following fuel
quality can be used:
– Premium grade unleaded
fuel (95 ROZ/RON, 85 MOZ/
MON)
Capacity– Usable fuel capacity:
19 litres
– Of which reserve fuel:
approx. 4 litres
The volume of fuel dis-
play in the multifunction
display only works when the
ignition is switched on.c
Brake system GeneralDescending mountain
passes
If the rear brake is used
exclusively for braking
when descending steep in-
clines, there is a risk of losing
braking efficiency. Under ex-
treme conditions, the brakes
could overheat and suffer se-
vere damage.
Use the front and rear brakes
and the engine brake.c
