care. Never siphon gasoline by
mouth. If you should swallow some
gasoline or inhale a lot of gasoline
vapor, or get some gasoline in your
eyes, see your doctor immediately. If
gasoline spills on your skin, wash
with soap and water. If gasoline spills
on your clothing, change your
clothes.
Recommended fuel:
REGULAR UNLEADED GASOLINE
ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
6.0 L (1.59 US gal) (1.32 Imp.gal)
NOTICE
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 designed
INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS
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) oc-
curs, use a gasoline of a different brand
or premium unleaded fuel. Use of un-
leaded fuel will extend spark plug life
and reduce maintenance cost.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-

ing methanol. Gasohol containing etha-
nol can be used if ethanol content does
not exceed 10% (E10). Gasohol contain-

Yamaha because it can cause damage

mance problems.
