8Do not overfill the fuel tank. Fuel expands
when it heats up. If the fuel tank is over-
filled, fuel could spill out due to heat from
the engine or the sun.
8Be careful not to spill fuel, especially on
the engine or exhaust pipe which can
cause a fire and severe injury. Wipe up
any spilled fuel immediately.
8Do not refuel right after the engine has
been running and is still very hot.
8Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed secure-
ly.

Engine oil
The engine oil level should be checked before
each ride. In addition, the oil must be changed
at the intervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
Engine oil level measurement
1. Place the machine on a level surface.
2. Warm up the engine for several minutes and
stop it.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil level settles,
remove the oil filler cap, wipe off the dipstick
clean. Insert the dipstick in the filler hole
without screwing it in.
NOTE:
Wait a few minutes until the oil level settles
before checking.
4. Remove the dipstick and inspect the oil
level.
5. The oil level should be between the maxi-
mum and minimum marks. If the level is low,
add oil to raise it to the proper level.
