INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS
Immediately wipe off spilled fuel with
a clean, dry, soft cloth, since fuel may
deteriorate painted surfaces or plastic
parts.
Recommended fuel:
3
UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
8.0 L (2.11 us.gal) (1.76 imp.gal)
Fuel reserve amount:
1.8 L (0.48 us.gal) (0.40 imp.gal)
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 designed
to use regular unleaded gasoline with a
pump octane number [(R+M)/2] of 86 or
higher, or a research octane number of
91 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different
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:
gasohol containing ethanol and that
containing methanol. Gasohol
containing ethanol can be used if
the ethanol content does not exceed
10%. Gasohol containing methanol
is not recommended by Yamaha
because it can cause damage to
the fuel system or vehicle
performance problems.
