WARNING
Gasoline is poisonous and can cau-
se injury or death. Handle gasoline
with care. Never siphon gasoline by
mouth. If you should swallow some
gasoline or inhale a lot of gasoline
vapor, or get some gasoline in your
eyes, see your doctor immediately. If
gasoline spills on your skin, wash
with soap and water. If gasoline
spills on your clothing, change your
clothes.
Recommended fuel:
Regular unleaded gasoline (Gasohol
[E10] acceptable)
Fuel tank capacity:
9.5 L (2.5 US gal, 2.1 Imp.gal)
Fuel reserve amount:
2.6 L (0.69 US gal, 0.57 Imp.gal)
NOTICE
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings,
EWA15152
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)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different
Instrument and control functions
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: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that con-
EAU53073
taining methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-
tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-
ohol containing methanol is
recommended by Yamaha because it
can cause damage to the fuel system
or vehicle performance problems.
