Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
11
line with a research octane number of
91 or higher. If knocking (or pinging) oc-
12
curs, use a gasoline of a different brand
or premium unleaded fuel. Use of un-
leaded fuel will extend spark plug life
and reduce maintenance costs.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that contain-
ing methanol. Gasohol containing

tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-
