Recommended fuel:
UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
20.0 L (5.28 US gal) (4.40 Imp.gal)
Fuel reserve amount:
3.9 L (1.03 US gal) (0.86 Imp.gal)
CAUTION:
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) oc-
curs, use a gasoline of a different brand
ECA10070 or premium unleaded fuel. Use of un-
leaded fuel will extend spark plug life
and reduce maintenance costs.
