WARNING
Gasoline is poisonous and can cau-
se injury or death. Handle gasoline
with 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:
Premium unleaded gasoline (Gaso-
hol [E10] acceptable)
Fuel tank capacity:
18 L (4.8 US gal, 4.0 Imp.gal)
Fuel reserve amount:
2.6 L (0.69 US gal, 0.57 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,
EWA15152
as well as to the exhaust system.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use premium unleaded gas-
oline with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different
Instrument and control functions
brand. Use of unleaded fuel will extend
spark plug life and reduce mainte-
nance costs.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that con-
EAU58111
taining methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-
tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-
ohol containing methanol is
recommended by Yamaha because it
can cause damage to the fuel system
or vehicle performance problems.
