Immediately wipe off spilled fuel with
a clean, dry, soft cloth, since fuel may

deteriorate painted surfaces or plas-
tic parts.
Recommended fuel:
UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
5.7 L (1.5 US gal) (1.25 Imp.gal)
Your Yamaha engine has been designed
to use regular unleaded gasoline with a
pump octane number [(R+M)/2] of 86
or higher, or a research octane number
of 91 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
EWA10880
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.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that contain-
ing methanol. Gasohol containing etha-
nol can be used if the ethanol content
ECA10070 does not exceed 10%. Gasohol contain-
ing methanol is not recommended by
Yamaha because it can cause damage
to the fuel system or vehicle perfor-
mance problems.
