CAUTION:
Use only fresh gasoline that has been
stored in clean containers.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol
containing ethanol and that containing meth-
anol.
Gasohol containing ethanol can be used
if ethanol content does not exceed 10 % and
the fuel meets minimum octane ratings.
Gasohol containing methanol is not rec-
ommended by Yamaha because it can
cause fuel system damage or engine perfor-
mance problems.Recommended gasoline:
Regular unleaded gasoline with
a minimum octane rating of
86 (Pump octane number) = (R+M)/2
90 (Research octane number)

mable and explosive.
Check the fuel system for leaks, cracks,
or malfunctions. If any problem is found, do
the necessary repair or replacement as
required. If repair is necessary, consult a
Yamaha dealer.
Check:
●Carburetor for leakage.
●Fuel pump for malfunction or leakage.
●Fuel tank for water or dirt.
●Fuel tank for damage, cracks or leakage.
●Fuel hose joint for leakage.
●Fuel hose for cracks or other damage.
●Fuel filter for leakage.
●Fuel cock for leakage.
●Air vent check valve for leakage.
●Fuel tank filler cap for damage.
WARNING
Failure to check for and repair any fuel
leakage may result in fire or explosion.
