mouth. If you should swallow some
gasoline or inhale a lot of gasoline
vapor, or get some gasoline in your

Recommended fuel:
UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
5.7 L (1.5 US gal, 1.25 Imp.gal)
Your Yamaha engine has been designed
to use regular unleaded gasoline 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) oc-
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 etha-
nol can be used if the ethanol content
does not exceed 10% (E10). Gasohol
containing methanol is not recom-
mended by Yamaha because it can
cause damage to the fuel system or
vehicle performance problems.
