Fuel requirements

Gasoline
Use a good quality gasoline that meets the
minimum octane requirement. If knocking or
pinging occurs, use a different brand of gas-
oline or premium unleaded fuel. Yamaha rec-
ommends that you use alcohol-free gasoline
(see Gasoline with Ethanol) whenever possi-
ble.
The use of a poor quality gasoline may result
in starting and running problems. If you en-
counter drivability problems, which you sus-
pect could be related to the fuel you are
using, Yamaha recommends that you switch
to a recognized high quality brand of gaso-
line, such as a gasoline that is advertised as
Top Tier Detergent Gasoline.
NOTICE:
Fail-
ure to comply with these recommenda-
tions may also result in unscheduled
maintenance, fuel system damage, and in-
ternal engine damage.

NOTICE

Do not use leaded gasoline. Leaded

the fuel tank. Contaminated fuel can
cause poor performance or engine dam-
age. Use only fresh gasoline that has
been stored in clean containers.

able in the U.S.A. and Canada for use in au-
tomobiles and boats: conventional gasoline
