Engine Oil - Yamaha YXZ1000RSS Owner's Manual

Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol con-
taining ethanol and that containing methanol.
Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if
ethanol content does not exceed 10% (E10).
Gasohol containing methanol is not recom-
mended by Yamaha because it may cause
fuel system damage or vehicle performance
problems.
Recommended fuel:
Regular unleaded gasoline only
Fuel tank capacity:
34.0 L (8.98 US gal, 7.48 Imp.gal)
Portable fuel containers
If you carry a portable fuel container in the
bed of your Yamaha YXZ1000R, be sure to
secure it with the cap tightened before driving
the vehicle.
Always place a portable fuel container on the
ground before filling it. Before removing the
container cap, touch the container with the
fuel dispenser nozzle. Keep fuel dispenser
nozzle in contact with container inlet when fill-
ing. WARNING! Never refill a fuel container
in the bed of any vehicle. Fire may result
from a build-up of static electricity. The
discharge of this build-up while refueling
can cause a spark and ignite the gasoline.
