Conditioning and stabilizing fuel
Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add one
ounce of "Yamaha Fuel Conditioner and Sta-
bilizer" to each gallon of fuel.
NOTE:
The use of "Yamaha Fuel Conditioner and
Stabilizer" eliminates the need to drain the
fuel system. Consult your Yamaha dealer or
other qualified mechanic if the fuel system is
to be drained instead.

Lubrication

1. Install the spark plug(s) and torque to
proper specification. For information on
spark plug installation, see page 62.
2. Change the gear oil. For instructions, see
page 71. Inspect the oil for the presence
of water that indicates a leaky seal. Seal
replacement should be performed by an
authorized Yamaha dealer prior to use.
3. Grease all grease fittings. For further de-
tails, see page 61.
NOTE:
For long-term storage, fogging the engine
with oil is recommended. Contact your
Yamaha dealer for information about fogging
oil and procedures for your engine.
