2006 VRSCA V­Rod ­ Owner’s Manual

When refueling your motorcycle, the following rules should be observed.

Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine turned off. Remove fuel filler cap slowly.

Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks when refueling or servicing the fuel system. Leave air space to allow for fuel expansion.

Do not store motorcycle with gasoline in tank within the home or garage where open flames, pilot lights, sparks or electric motors are present. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or serious injury. (00003a)

Engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. (00004e)

Wheel weights on wheels without spokes contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. (00356b)

Do not run motorcycle in a closed garage or confined area. Inhaling motorcycle exhaust, which contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas, could result in death or serious injury. (00005a)

The jiffy stand locks when placed in the full forward (down) position with vehicle weight on it. If the jiffy stand is not in the full forward (down) position with vehicle weight on it, the vehicle can fall over which could result in death or serious injury. (00006a)

Be sure jiffy stand is fully retracted before riding. If jiffy stand is not fully retracted, it can contact the road surface causing a loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00007a)

A new motorcycle must be operated according to the special break­in procedure. See

Break­in Riding Rules: VRSC Models.

Operate motorcycle only at moderate speed and out of traffic until you have become thoroughly familiar with its operation and handling characteristics under all conditions.

NOTE:

We recommend that you obtain information and formal training in the correct motorcycle riding

technique. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation® offers beginning and advanced rider safety courses. Call (949)727­3227 for information.

Travel at speeds appropriate for road and conditions and never travel faster than posted speed limit. Excessive speed can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00008a)

Do not exceed the legal speed limit or drive too fast for existing conditions. Always reduce speed when poor driving conditions exist. High speed increases the influence of any other condition affecting stability and increases the possibility of loss of control.

Pay strict attention to road surfaces and wind conditions. Any two wheeled vehicle may be subject to upsetting forces such as wind blasts from passing trucks, holes in the pavement, rough road surfaces, rider control error, etc. These forces may influence the handling characteristics of your motorcycle. If this happens, reduce speed and guide the motorcycle with a relaxed grip to a controlled condition. Do not brake abruptly or force the handlebar. This may aggravate an unstable condition.

Keep cargo weight concentrated close to the motorcycle and as low as possible to minimize the change in the motorcycle’s center of gravity. Distribute weight evenly on both sides of the vehicle and do not load bulky items too far behind the rider or add weight to the handlebars or front forks. Do not exceed maximum specified load in each saddlebag.

NOTE:

New riders should gain experience under various conditions while driving at moderate speeds.

Operate your motorcycle defensively. Remember, a motorcycle does not afford the same protection as an automobile in an accident. One of the most common accident situations occurs when the driver of the other vehicle fails to see or recognize a motorcycle and turns left into the on­coming motorcyclist. Operate only with headlamp on.

Wear an approved helmet, clothing, and foot gear suited for motorcycle riding. Bright or light colors are best for greater visibility in traffic, especially at night. Avoid loose, flowing garments and scarves.

Avoid contact with exhaust system and wear protective clothing that completely covers legs while riding. Exhaust pipes and mufflers get very hot when engine is running and remain too hot to touch, even after engine is turned off. Failure to wear protective clothing could result in burns or other serious injury. (00009a)

When carrying passengers, it is your responsibility to instruct them on proper riding

procedures. (See Riding Tips included in your Harley­Davidson Owner’s Kit.)

Do not allow other individuals, under any circumstances, to operate your motorcycle unless you know they are experienced, licensed riders and are thoroughly familiar with the operation of your particular motorcycle.

Protect your motorcycle against theft. After parking your motorcycle, lock the steering head and remove ignition key from switch. Set security alarm if present.

Safe motorcycle operation requires alert mental judgment combined with a defensive driving attitude. Do not allow fatigue, alcohol or drugs to endanger your safety or that of others. Vehicles equipped with a sound system should have the volume adjusted to a nondistracting level before operating vehicle.

Maintain your motorcycle in proper operating condition in accordance with Regular Service Intervals: 2006 VRSC Models. Particularly important to motorcycle stability is proper tire inflation pressure, tread condition, and proper adjustment of wheel bearings and steering head bearings.

Do not operate vehicle with forks locked. Locking the forks restricts the vehicle’s turning ability, which could result in death or serious injury. (00035a)

Perform the service and maintenance operations as indicated in the regular service interval table. Lack of regular maintenance at the recommended intervals can affect the safe operation of your motorcycle, which could result in death or serious injury. (00010a)

Do not operate motorcycle with loose, worn or damaged steering or suspension systems. Contact a Harley­ Davidson dealer for repairs. Loose, worn or damaged steering or suspension components can adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00011a)

Regularly inspect shock absorbers and front forks. Replace leaking, damaged or worn parts that can adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00012a)

Use Harley­Davidson replacement fasteners. Aftermarket fasteners can adversely affect performance, which could

result in death or serious injury. (00013a)

See a Harley­Davidson service manual for proper torque values.

Aftermarket fasteners may not have the specific property requirements to perform properly.

Be sure tires are properly inflated, balanced and have adequate tread. Inspect your tires regularly and see a Harley­Davidson dealer for replacements. Riding with excessively worn, unbalanced or under­inflated tires can adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00014a)

Replace punctured or damaged tires. In some cases, small punctures in the tread area may be repaired from within the demounted tire by a Harley­Davidson dealer. Speed should NOT exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) for the first 24 hours after repair, and the repaired tire should NEVER be used over 80 mph (130 km/h). Failure to follow this warning could result in death or serious injury. (00015a)

Do not exceed the motorcycle’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). Exceeding these weight ratings can affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00016e)

GVWR is the sum of the weight of the motorcycle, accessories, and the maximum weight of the rider, passenger and cargo that can be safely carried.

GAWR is the maximum amount of weight that can be safely carried on each axle.

The GVWR and GAWR are shown on the information plate, located on the frame down tube.

Do not tow a disabled motorcycle. Towing can adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00017a)

Do not pull a trailer with a motorcycle. Pulling a trailer can cause tire overload, reduced braking efficiency and adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00018b)

Direct contact of D.O.T. 4 brake fluid with eyes can cause irritation. Avoid eye contact. In case of eye contact flush with large amounts of water and get medical attention.

Swallowing large amounts of D.O.T. 4 brake fluid can cause digestive discomfort. If swallowed, obtain medical attention. Use in well ventilated area. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. (00240a)

Batteries, battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, and other chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. (00019d)

Consult a Harley­Davidson dealer regarding any questions or problems that occur in the operation of your motorcycle. Failure to do so can aggravate an initial problem, cause costly repairs, cause an accident and could result in death or serious injury. (00020a)

Be sure all equipment required by federal, state and local law is installed and in good operating condition.

Rules of the Road

Keep to the right side of the road centerline when meeting other vehicles coming in the opposite direction. Ride to left of center of your lane to avoid oily pavement ahead.

Always sound your horn, actuate your turn signals, and exercise caution when passing other vehicles going in the same direction. Never try to pass another vehicle going in the same direction at street intersections, on curves, or when going up or down a hill.

At street intersections give the right­of­way to the vehicle on your right. Do not presume you have the right­of­way, as the other driver may not know it is your turn.

Always signal when preparing to stop, turn or pass.

All traffic signs, including those used for the control of traffic at intersections, should be obeyed promptly. SLOW DOWN signs near schools and CAUTION signs at railroad crossings should always be observed and your actions governed accordingly.

When intending to turn to the left, signal at least 100 feet (30.5 meters) before reaching the turning point. Move over to the centerline of the street (unless local rules require otherwise), slow down, enter the intersection of the street and then turn carefully to the left.

Never anticipate a traffic light. When a change is indicated from GO to STOP (or vice versa) in the traffic control systems at intersections, slow down and wait for the light to change. Never run through a yellow or red traffic light.

While turning either right or left, watch for pedestrians, animals, as well as vehicles.

Do not leave the curb or parking area without signaling. Be sure your way is clear to enter moving traffic. A moving line of traffic always has the right­of­way.

Be sure your license plate is installed in the position specified by law and is clearly visible at

Travel at speeds appropriate for road and conditions and

never travel faster than posted speed limit. Excessive speed can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00008a)

Do not exceed the legal speed limit or drive too fast for existing conditions. Always reduce speed when poor driving conditions exist. High speed increases the influence of any other condition affecting stability and increases the possibility of loss of control.

Pay strict attention to road surfaces and wind conditions. Any two wheeled vehicle may be subject to upsetting forces such as wind blasts from passing trucks, holes in the pavement, rough road surfaces, rider control error, etc. These forces may influence the handling characteristics of your motorcycle. If this happens, reduce speed and guide the motorcycle with a relaxed grip to a controlled condition. Do not brake abruptly or force the handlebar. This may aggravate an unstable condition.

Keep cargo weight concentrated close to the motorcycle and as low as possible. This minimizes the change in the motorcycle’s center of gravity.

Distribute weight evenly on both sides of the vehicle.

Do not load bulky items too far behind the rider or add weight to the handlebars or front forks.

Do not exceed maximum specified load in each saddlebag.

Luggage racks are designed for lightweight items. Do not overload racks.

Be sure cargo is secure and will not shift while riding and recheck the cargo periodically. Accessories that change the operator’s riding position may increase reaction time and affect handling of the motorcycle.

Additional electrical equipment may overload the motorcycle’s electrical system possibly resulting in electrical system and/or component failure.

The front and/or rear guard(s) can provide limited leg and cosmetic vehicle protection under unique circumstances. (Fall over while stopped, very slow speed slide.) It is not made or intended to provide protection from bodily injury in a collision with another vehicle or any other object.

(00022a)

Large surfaces such as fairings, windshields, back rests, and luggage racks can adversely affect handling. Only genuine Harley­Davidson items designed specifically for the motorcycle model should be used with proper installation.

Do not use aftermarket parts and custom made front forks which can adversely affect performance and handling. Removing or altering factory installed parts can adversely affect performance and could result in death or serious injury. (00001a)

Only Touring Harley­Davidson Motorcycles are suitable for sidecar use. Consult a Harley­Davidson dealer. Use of

motorcycles other than Touring models with sidecars could result in death or serious injury. (00040a)

Tire Data: VRSC Models

Match tires, tubes, air valves and caps to the correct wheel rim. Contact a Harley­Davidson dealer. Mismatching can result in damage to the tire bead, allow tire slippage on the rim or cause tire failure, which could result in death or serious injury. (00023a)

Use only Harley­Davidson approved tires. See a Harley­ Davidson dealer. Using non­approved tires can adversely affect stability, which could result in death or serious injury. (00024a)

Tubeless tires are used on all Harley­Davidson cast and disc wheels.

Tire sizes are molded on the tire sidewall. Inner tube sizes are printed on the tube.

Harley­Davidson front and rear tires are not the same. Interchanging front and rear tires can cause tire failure, which could result in death or serious injury. (00026a)

Do not inflate tire beyond maximum pressure as specified on sidewall. Over inflated tires can blow out, which could result in death or serious injury. (00027a)

Harley­Davidson tires are equipped with wear bars that run horizontally across the tread. When wear bars become visible and only 1/32 in. (0.8 mm) tread depth remains, replace tire immediately. Using a worn tire can adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. Use only Dunlop Harley­Davidson replacement tires. (00090a)

See Specifications: 2006 VRSC Models for tire pressures and sizes.

Catalytic Converters

International motorcycles are equipped with catalytic converters.

Do not operate catalytic converter­equipped vehicle with engine misfire or a non­firing cylinder. If you operate the vehicle under these conditions, the exhaust will become abnormally hot, which can cause vehicle damage, including emission control loss. (00149a)

Gasoline Blends

Your motorcycle was designed to get the best performance and efficiency using unleaded gasoline. Most gasoline is blended with alcohol and/or ether to create oxygenated blends. The type and amount of alcohol or ether added to the fuel is important.

Do not use gasoline that contains methanol. Doing so can result in fuel system component failure, engine damage and/or equipment malfunction. (00148a)

Gasoline containing METHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER (MTBE): Gasoline/MTBE blends are a mixture of gasoline and as much as 15% MTBE. Gasoline/MTBE blends can be used in your motorcycle.

ETHANOL is a mixture of 10% ethanol (Grain alcohol) and 90% unleaded gasoline. Gasoline/ethanol blends can be used in your motorcycle if the ethanol content does not exceed 10%.

REFORMULATED OR OXYGENATED GASOLINES (RFG): Reformulated gasoline is a term used to describe gasoline blends that are specifically designed to burn cleaner than other types of gasoline, leaving fewer tailpipe emissions. They are also formulated to evaporate less when you are filling your tank. Reformulated gasolines use additives to oxygenate the gas. Your motorcycle will run normally using this type of gas and Harley­ Davidson recommends you use it when possible, as an aid to cleaner air in our environment.

You may find that some gasoline blends adversely affect the starting, driveability or fuel efficiency of your motorcycle. If you experience one or more of these problems, it is recommended you operate your motorcycle on straight unleaded gasoline.

Fuel

Refer to Octane Ratings. Always use a good quality unleaded gasoline. Octane ratings are usually found on the pump.

NOTE: When switching to the ACC position, a startup diagnostic performs a systems check. The instrument background lighting illuminates, gauge needles sweep their full range of motion and the battery, security, coolant temperature and check engine indicator lamps illuminate.

Hand Controls: Basic Operation

Electric Starter Switch

NOTE:

Off/Run switch MUST be in RUN position to operate engine.

See Handlebar Controls: VRSC Models. The electric starter switch is located on the right handlebar control group. See Starting the Engine: EFI Models for detailed operation procedures.

1.Put the engine off/run switch in the RUN position and the transmission in neutral. Neutral (green) indicator lamp should be illuminated.

2.See Ignition/Seat Release Switch: VRSCA/D Models. Turn ignition/headlamp key switch to ON and push the START switch to operate starter motor.

Engine OFF/RUN Switch

See Handlebar Controls: VRSC Models. The engine off/run switch (7) turns the ignition power ON or OFF. The engine off/run switch is located on the right handlebar control. Push the top portion of the engine off/run switch to turn off ignition power and shut the engine off. Push the bottom portion of the engine off/run switch to turn on ignition power.

NOTES:

The engine off/run switch must be in the ON position to start or operate the engine. The engine off/run switch should be used to shut the engine off.

1.To shut the engine off, push the top of the off/run switch to the ignition OFF position.

2.See Ignition/Seat Release Switch: VRSCA/D Models. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position to turn the ignition power completely OFF.

Throttle Control Grip

See Handlebar Controls: VRSC Models. The throttle control grip (9) is located on the right handlebar control and is operated with the right hand.

To reduce rider fatigue on long trips, a spring loaded throttle friction adjustment screw (10) is located at the bottom of the throttle grip clamp on non­cruise equipped models.

1.Slowly turn throttle control grip clockwise (toward the front of the bike) to close the throttle (decelerate).

2.Slowly turn throttle control grip counterclockwise (toward rear of bike) to open the throttle (accelerate).

Do not tighten throttle friction adjustment screw to the point where the engine will not return to idle automatically. Over­tightening can lead to loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00031b)

Each handlebar control group contains a turn signal switch.

The right turn signal switch (11) operates the right front and right rear flashing lamps. The left turn signal switch (4) operates the left front and left rear flashing lamps.

Turn Signal Switch Operation

The turn signal switches are used by the turn signal module to control turn signal operation based on vehicle speed, vehicle acceleration and turn completion.

Momentarily depress the desired turn signal switch. The turn signal lamps will begin and continue flashing until they are manually or automatically cancelled. As long as the motorcycle is stationary, the signals will flash.

NOTES:

If you are signaling to turn in one direction and you depress the switch for the opposite turn signal, the first signal is cancelled and the opposite side begins flashing.

If you want to stop the lamps from flashing, briefly depress the turn signal switch a second time. The turn signal lamps will stop flashing.

Hazard Warning 4­Way Flasher

Use the following method to activate the four­way flashers.

1.With the ignition key ON and security system disarmed (models with security only), press the left and right turn signal switches at the same time.

2.Turn the ignition key OFF and arm the security system if present and desired. The four­way

flashers will continue for two hours.

3.To cancel four­way flashing, disarm the security system if necessary, turn the ignition key ON and press the left and right turn signal switches at the same time.

This system allows a stranded vehicle to be left in the four­way flashing mode and secured until help is found.

Indicator Lamps: VRSC Models

See Indicator Lamps: VRSCR Model. Ten indicator lamps are provided.

The two green TURN indicator lamps flash when turn signals are activated; therefore, flashing indicates the chosen turn direction. When the 4­way hazard flashers are operating, both turn indicators flash simultaneously.

The blue HIGH BEAM indicator lamp, when lit, signals high beam headlamp operation. The green NEUTRAL lamp, when lit, signals the transmission is in neutral gear.

The red OIL PRESSURE indicator lamp, when lit, signals that oil is not circulating through the engine.

The red ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE indicator lamp, when lit, signals the coolant temperature has exceeded 243° F (117° C).

The red ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC indicator lamp, when lit, signals that the vehicle’s computer has detected an engine malfunction.

The red ALTERNATOR indicator lamp, when lit, signals there is a malfunction in the charging circuit and the battery is not being properly charged.

The red SECURITY STATUS indicator lamp indicates the status of the vehicle’s security system. It is normal for this to light with or without a security system.

The yellow LOW FUEL indicator lamp, when lit, signals the fuel tank is almost empty.

NOTES:

The OIL PRESSURE indicator lamp will glow when the ignition is turned on prior to starting the engine. With the engine running, the lamp should be off when engine speed is above idle.

To learn more about the SECURITY STATUS indicator lamp, see the H­D Factory Security Section later in this manual.

Several other circumstances that could cause the red oil pressure indicator lamp to illuminate include:

An insufficient or diluted oil supply causing the oil pressure indicator lamp to remain lit at speeds above idling.

An oil feed clogged with ice and sludge in freezing weather, preventing oil circulation. A grounded oil signal switch wire.

A faulty oil signal switch.

A damaged or improperly installed check valve. Trouble with the oil pump.

If the oil pressure indicator lamp remains lit, always check the oil supply first. If the oil supply is normal and the lamp is still lit, stop the engine at once and do not ride further until the trouble is located and the necessary repairs are

made. Failure to do so may result in engine damage. (00157a)

Several other circumstances that could cause the red engine coolant temperature indicator lamp to illuminate include:

Cooling fan malfunction.

Low coolant level.

Thermostat malfunction.

Temperature gauge malfunction.

Blocked coolant passages.

Radiator cap malfunction.

Coolant malfunction.

If the engine coolant temperature indicator lamp remains lit, always check the coolant level. If the coolant level is normal and the lamp is still lit, stop the engine at once and do not ride further until the trouble is located and the necessary repairs are made. Failure to do so may result in engine damage. (00158a)

Do not remove radiator filler cap when engine is hot. The cooling system is under pressure and hot coolant and steam can escape, which could cause severe burns. Allow engine to cool before servicing the cooling system. (00091a)

The tachometer registers the engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM).

See OPERATING RECOMMENDATIONS section. Do not operate the engine above maximum safe RPM as shown under OPERATION (red zone on tachometer). Lower the RPM by upshifting to a higher gear or reducing the amount of throttle. Failure to lower RPM may cause equipment damage. (00159a)

Trip Odometer

See Instrument Cluster: VRSCR Model. Use the trip­odometer A or trip­odometer B to register number of miles/kilometers traveled on a trip or between refueling.

Odometer will wake up when bike is OFF while the function switch is pressed (No need to turn the bike on to check the odometer reading).

Odometer/Trip Odometer/Fuel Range Functions

See Instrument Cluster: VRSCR Model. The speedometer has a single display window for the odometer, trip odometer and fuel range displays. The odometer registers the number of miles (kilometers) the vehicle has traveled. Use the trip odometer to register the number of miles (kilometers) traveled on a trip or between refueling. The fuel range display shows the approximate mileage available with the amount of fuel currently in the fuel tank.

1.Press the rubber covered function switch to change the display window on the speedometer face to either odometer or trip­odometer.

2.To reset the trip­odometer to zero, press button to reset speedometer display to the ODOMETER mode and hold the button in for approximately 2­3 seconds.

3.See Instrument Cluster: VRSCR Model. Press the odometer reset switch to change the display window on the speedometer face to odometer, trip­odometer, or fuel range. The fuel range function can be identified by the letter ‘r’ on the left side of the display and the calculated number of miles (kilometers) left. When the motorcycle is very low on fuel, the fuel range function displays «r lo».

The speedometer will switch to the trip­odometer mode and reset the display to zero. The trip­ odometer is displayed and reset to zero.

Tip Indicator Lamp

If tip occurs, check all controls for proper operation. Restricted control movement can adversely affect the performance of the brakes, clutch or ability to shift, which could result in loss of vehicle control and death or serious injury. (00350a)

Should motorcycle be tipped over, the word «tip» will appear in the odometer window. To reset, cycle ignition/headlamp key switch ON­OFF­ON.

Gear Shift Lever

The clutch must be fully disengaged before attempting a gear shift. Failure to fully disengage the clutch can result in equipment damage. (00182a)

The gear shift lever is located on the left side of the motorcycle and is operated with the left foot.

1.Push the gear shift lever all the way down (full stroke) to shift the transmission to the next lower gear.

2.Lift the gear shift lever all the way up (full stroke) to shift the transmission to the next higher gear.

NOTES:

Release the gear shift lever after each gear change.

The lever must return to its central position before another gear change can be made.

See Gear Shift Lever (Downshift): VRSC Models. First gear is the last gear position that can be found by pushing the gear shift lever full stroke downward.

Neutral is located between first and second gear. The green neutral indicator lamp on the dash will illuminate when the transmission is in neutral.

Brake System

Do not apply brake strongly enough to lock the wheel. A locked wheel will skid and can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00053a)

The rear brake pedal controls the rear wheel brake and is located on the motorcycle’s right side. Operate the rear brake pedal with the right foot.

The front brake hand lever controls the front wheel brake and is located on the right handlebar. Operate the hand lever with the fingers of the right hand.

Do not position fingers between hand control lever and handlebar grip. Improper hand positioning can impair control lever operation and cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00032a)

Brakes should be applied uniformly and evenly to prevent wheels from locking up. A balance between rear and front braking is generally best.

Jiffy Stand

Always park motorcycle on a level, firm surface. An unbalanced motorcycle can fall over, which could result in death or serious injury. (00039a)

The jiffy stand is located on the left side of the motorcycle and swings outward to support the motorcycle for parking.

The jiffy stand locks when placed in the full forward (down) position with vehicle weight on it. If the jiffy stand is not in the full forward (down) position with vehicle weight on it, the vehicle can fall over which could result in death or serious injury. (00006a)

Be sure jiffy stand is fully retracted before riding. If jiffy stand is not fully retracted, it can contact the road surface causing a loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00007a)

Rear View Mirrors

Objects in mirrors are closer than they appear. Use caution when judging distance of objects in mirrors. Failure to judge correct distances could result in death or serious injury. (00033a)

Your vehicle is equipped with two convex rear view mirrors.

This type of mirror is designed to give a much wider view to the rear than a flat mirror. However, cars and other objects seen in this type of mirror will look smaller and farther away than they actually are.

Use caution when judging the size or relative distance of objects seen in rear view mirrors. Always adjust the rear view mirrors to clearly reflect the area behind the motorcycle before riding.

NOTE:

Adjust mirrors so you can see a small portion of your shoulders in each mirror. This will help you establish the relative distance of vehicles to the rear of your motorcycle.

Fuel Filler Cap: VRSC Models

The fuel filler cap is located under the seat. To lift up the seat, see Seat: VRSCR Model or

Seat: VRSCA/D Models.

See Fuel Filler Cap: VRSCR Model. To open, turn the fuel filler cap counterclockwise and lift up. To close, turn the fuel filler cap clockwise until it clicks. The ratchet action of the cap prevents overtightening.

NOTE:

The fuel filler cap turns approximately 3/4 turn before it begins unscrewing.

See SAFE OPERATING RULES section and review safety procedures.

Do not spill fuel onto the motorcycle while refueling. Immediately wipe up fuel spills on your motorcycle. Fuel can cause damage to cosmetic surfaces. (00147b)

Use only unleaded fuel in catalytic converter­equipped motorcycles. Using leaded fuel will damage the emission control system. (00150b)

Do not store motorcycle with gasoline in tank within the home or garage where open flames, pilot lights, sparks or

electric motors are present. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or serious injury. (00003a)

Avoid spills. Slowly remove 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. (00028a)

Fuel Filler Cap: VRSCR Model

Arming The System

There are two methods to arm the security system:

Remote­arming: See Key Fob. Owners may enable security alarm and immobilization functions with a remote, personally carried transmitter. This transmitter is referred to as a key fob within this document.

Auto­arming: Arms the security system within 30 seconds after IGNITION switch is turned OFF. To enable auto­arming see Using Auto­arming below.

NOTES:

The vehicle cannot be armed with the engine running or the ignition ON. International vehicles are configured for auto­arming. This cannot be changed.

Using Key Fob

See Key Fob. Hold down the key fob button until the system responds with two turn signal flashes and two chirps from optional siren. To assign a key fob to a motorcycle, refer to Key Fob Assignment.

Using Auto­arming

Auto­arming causes the security system to automatically arm itself (without the use of the key fob) within 30 seconds after the ignition key is turned OFF. During this period, the security lamp stays on solid to indicate auto­arming is starting up.

The vehicle may be moved during these 30 seconds without triggering the alarm. However, any motion after that period will trigger the security alarm. Upon expiration of the auto­arming period, the turn signals flash twice, the security lamp begins to flash and the siren (if installed) chirps twice.

To set the auto­arming selection, refer to Auto­arming Configuration.

Key Fob

Disarming The System

There are two ways to disarm the system:

Remote disarming: See Key Fob. Owners may disable security alarm and immobilization functions with a remote, personally carried transmitter. This transmitter is referred to as a key fob within this document.

Personal code: If a key fob is not available, the security system allows the rider to disable the security alarm and immobilization functions if the rider knows the previously entered personal code.

NOTE:

Do not forget to enter a personal code for security system vehicles. If a code is not assigned and the key fob is lost or damaged while the vehicle is armed, the security system module must be replaced. Refer to Programming a Personal Code for personal code setup.

Using Key Fob

See Key Fob. Quickly press the key fob button twice. The system will respond with one turn signal flash.

NOTES:

Disarming function may require practice. The key fob button must be pressed twice within 1.5 seconds to send the disarm command. The action is very similar to double­ clicking a computer mouse. Light quick taps work best; very hard or very slow taps are less likely to work.
