Recommended fuel:
UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
17.3 L (4.57 US gal, 3.81 Imp.gal)
Fuel reserve amount:
3.2 L (0.85 US gal, 0.70 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,
EWA15151 as well as to the exhaust system.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line 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 premi-
um 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 contain-
EAU13301
ing methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-
tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-
ohol
recommended by Yamaha because it
can cause damage to the fuel system
or vehicle performance problems.
