ately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gaso-

your clothes.
Recommended fuel:
Regular unleaded gasoline (Gasohol
(E10) acceptable)
Fuel tank capacity:
19.0 L (5.02 US gal, 4.18 Imp.gal)
Fuel reserve amount (when the fuel
level warning light comes on):
3.7 L (0.98 US gal, 0.81 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 de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
91 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different
INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS
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 con-
EAU54992
taining methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-
tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-
ohol containing methanol is not
recommended by Yamaha because it
can cause damage to the fuel system
or vehicle performance problems.
