s WARNING
s
Since gasoline is flammable, the
following precautions must be
observed.
Stop the engine before refue-
ling.
Never attempt to refuel the
scooter while smoking or near
an open flame.
Take special care not to spill
gasoline over the engine or
muffler when refueling imme-
diately after operation.
EAU13230 Before starting the engine,
quickly wipe off any gasoline
spilled on the engine or muffler.
CAUTION:
Immediately wipe off spilled fuel
with a clean, dry, soft cloth, since
fuel may deteriorate painted surfa-
ces or plastic parts.
Recommended fuel:
REGULAR UNLEADED GASOLINE
ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
EWA10990
12 L (3.17 US gal) (2.64 Imp gal)
Fuel reserve amount (when the fuel
level warning symbol comes on):
2 L (0.53 US gal) (0.44 Imp gal)
CAUTION:
Use only unleaded gasoline. The
use of leaded gasoline will cause
severe damage to internal engine
parts, such as the valves and piston
rings, as well as to the exhaust sys-
tem.
Your Yamaha engine has been desig-
ned to use regular unleaded gasoline
with a research octane number of 91
or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
ECA10070
occurs, use a gasoline of a different
brand or premium unleaded fuel. Use
of unleaded fuel will extend spark
plug life and reduce maintenance
costs.
