WARNING
Avoid spills. Slowly open fuel filler cap. Do not fill above bottom of filler neck insert, leaving air space for fuel expansion. Secure filler cap after refueling. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or serious injury. (00028b)
WARNING
Do not use aftermarket fuel caps. Aftermarket fuel caps may fit improperly and leak, which could lead to death or serious injury. See a Harley-Davidson dealer for approved fuel caps. (00034a)
See Figure 1. The fuel filler cap is located beneath a door on the fuel tank. Insert key into fuel door lock and turn counterclockwise to open. Unscrew fuel filler cap.
Fill fuel tank slowly to prevent fuel spillage. Do not fill above the bottom of the filler neck insert. Leave enough air space to allow for fuel expansion. Expansion can cause an overfilled tank to overflow fuel through the filler cap vent onto surrounding areas.
After refueling, be sure filler cap is securely tightened. Tighten fuel filler cap clockwise until it clicks. Close fuel door and turn key clockwise to lock fuel door.
