Fuel tank capacity:
17.3 L (4.57 US gal) (3.81 Imp.gal)
Fuel reserve amount (when the fuel
level warning light comes on):
3.5 L (0.92 US gal) (0.77 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 system.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use premium unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging) oc-
ECA10070 curs, use a gasoline of a different
brand. Use of unleaded fuel will extend
spark plug life and reduce maintenance
costs.
