Fuel
The capacity of the fuel tank is 3.8 L (1.0 US gal). To open the fuel tank cap, pull out the breather hose from the hole in the number plate and turn the tank cap counterclockwise.
Avoid filling the tank in the rain or where heavy dust is blowing so that the fuel does not get contaminated.
WARNING: Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. Always stop the engine and do not smoke. Make sure the area is well ventilated and free from any source of flame or sparks; this includes any appliance with a pilot light. After refueling, make sure the fuel tank cap is closed securely. If gasoline is spilled on the fuel tank, wipe it off.
Fuel Requirements
Fuel Type
Use clean, fresh unleaded gasoline with a minimum Antiknock index of 87. The Antiknock Index is posted on service station pumps in the U.S.A. The octane rating of gasoline is a measure of its resistance to detonation or knocking. The Antiknock Index is an average of the Research Octane Number (RON) and the Motor Octane Number (MON) as shown in the table below.
Octane Rating Method | Minimum Rating |
---|---|
(RON + MON) Antiknock index | 87 |
Research Octane Number (RON) | 91 |
CAUTION: Different brand of gasoline of a higher octane rating. If this condition is allowed to continue it can lead to severe engine damage. Gasoline quality is important. Fuels of low quality or not meeting standard industry specifications.Fuels Containing Oxygenates
Gasoline frequently contains oxygenates (alcohols and ethers especially in areas of the U.S. and Canada which are required to sell such reformulated fuels as part of a strategy to reduce exhaust emissions.
The types and volume of fuel oxygenates approved for use in unleaded gasoline by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency include a broad range of alcohols and ethers, but only two components have seen any significant level of commercial use.
Gasoline f Alcohol Blends - Gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol alcohol produced from agricultural products such as corn, also known as gasohol is approved for use.
CAUTION |
---|
Avoid using blends of unleaded gasoline and methanol (wood alcohol) whenever possible, and never use gasohol containing more than 5% methanol. Fuel system damage and performance problems may result. |
Gasoline/Ether Blends - The most common ether is methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE). You may use gasoline containing up to 15% MTBE.
NOTE
Other oxygenates approved for use in unleaded gasoline include TAME up to 16.7% and ETBE up to 17.2%. Fuel containing these oxygenates can also be used in your Pitsterpro.
CAUTION |
---|
Never use gasoline with an octane rating lower than the minimum specified by Pitsterpro. Never use “gasohol" with more than 10% ethanol, or more than 5% methanol. Gasoline containing methanol must also be blended with co-solvents and corrosion inhibitors. Certain ingredients of gasoline may cause paint fading or damage. Be extra careful not to spill gasoline or gasoline oxygenate blends during refueling. |
Fuel Tap
The fuel tap has three positions: OFF, ON, and RES reserve. For normal operation, turn the fuel tap lever to the ON position. If the fuel runs out with the tap in the ON position, the last 0.5L (0.13 US gal) of fuel can be used by turning the tap lever to the RES position.
A. Fuel Tap C. OFF Position B. ON Position D. RES Position
Turn the fuel tap lever to the OFF position when the fuel tank is removed for maintenance and adjustments or the motorcycle is stored for a long time.
NOTE
Since riding distance is limited when on RES, refuel at the earliest opportunity.
- Make certain that the fuel tap is turned to ON (not RES) after filling up the fuel tank.
WARNING
Practice operating the fuel tap with the motorcycle stopped. To prevent an accident, you should be able to operate the fuel tap while riding without taking your eyes off the road. Be careful not to touch the hot engine while operating the fuel tap.
Engine Stop Switch
The engine stop switch is located on the left side of the handlebar. For ordinary engine stoppage and, if some emergency requires stopping the engine. press the engine stopswitch.
Starting the Engine
Shift the transmission into neutral by pushing the shift pedal down until the motorcycle rolls freely.
NOTE
This motorcycle will start in gear. Disengage the engine by engaging the clutch or placing the transmission in neutral before starting.
Turn the fuel tap lever to the ON position.
Choke Knob Kick the engine over, leaving the throttle closed.
Kick Pedal Once the engine starts, wait until the engine is thoroughly warmed up, then push in the choke knob.
NOTE
If the engine is already warm or on a hot day, open the throttle partway instead of using the choke knob. If the engine is flooded, kick the engine over with the throttle fully open until it starts.
Moving Off
- Shift into 1st gear.
- Open the throttle slowly.
Shifting Gears
- Close the throttle completely.
- Shift into the next higher or lower gear.
- Open the throttle slowly.
WARNING
When shifting down to a lower gear, do not shift at such a high speed that the engine rpm jumps excessively. Not only can this cause engine damage, but the rear wheel may skid and cause an accident.
Stopping the Motorcycle
For maximum deceleration, close the throttle and apply both front and rear brakes. Independent use of the front or rear brake may be advantageous in certain circumstances. Shift down progressively to ensure good engine response at all speeds.
Stopping the Engine
Shift the transmission into neutral position. After racing the engine slightly, close the throttle completely and push the engine stop switch.
Daily Pre-Ride Checks
Check the following items each day before you ride. The time required is minimal, and habitual performance of these checks will help ensure a safe, reliable ride. If any irregularities are found during these checks, refer to the appropriate section and take the action required to return the motorcycle to a safe operating condition.

Break-In
The first one hour that the motorcycle is ridden is designed as the break-in period. If the motorcycle is not used carefully during this period, you may very well end up with a broken down instead of a broken in motorcycle.
Do not start moving or race the engine immediately after starting it, even if the engine is already warm. Run the engine for two or three minutes at idle speed to give the oil a chance to work up into all the engine parts.
Avoid quick acceleration or starting and drive prudently for the first one hour of operation. Let the motorcycle cool completely. The motorcycle is ready for regular operation after this procedure is carried out.
MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
The maintenance and adjustments outlined in this chapter must be carried out in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart to keep the vehicle in good running condition. The initial maintenance is vitally important and must not be neglected.
