Recommended fuel:
REGULAR UNLEADED
GASOLINE ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
Total amount:
6.5 L
Your Yamaha engine has been
designed to use regular unleaded
gasoline with 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.
EWA00008
Since gasoline is flammable, the
following precautions must be
observed.
•
Stop the engine before
refueling.
•
Never attempt to refuel the
scooter while smoking or near
an open flame.
•
Take special care not to spill
gasoline over the engine or
muffler
when refueling
immediately after operation.
•
Before starting the engine,
quickly wipe off any gasoline
spilled on the engine or muffler.
