Fuel requirements

Gasoline

Use a good quality gasoline that meets the
minimum octane requirement. If knocking or
pinging occurs, use a different brand of gas-
oline or premium unleaded fuel. Yamaha
recommends that you use alcohol-free gaso-
line (see Gasoline with Ethanol) whenever
possible.
The use of a poor quality gasoline may result
in starting and running problems. If you en-
counter drivability problems, which you sus-
pect could be related to the fuel you are
using, we recommend that you switch to a
recognized high quality brand of gasoline,
such as a gasoline that is advertised as Top
Tier Detergent Gasoline. Failure to comply
with these recommendations may also result
