Filling the oil tank
WARNING@
Do not add gasoline to the oil tank.
Fire or explosion could result.

Oil in the bilge is a serious fire hazard.
Wipe up any spilled oil immediately.
@
CAUTION:@ Do not allow the oil tank to become com-
pletely empty. If the oil tank becomes
empty the oil injection pump must be
bled to ensure proper oil flow, otherwise
engine damage may occur. If bleeding of
the oil pump is necessary, have a
Yamaha dealer bleed it.
@
1. Open the hood and remove the front stor-
age compartment. Also, remove all seat,
so you can watch the oil level. (See page
2-6 for hood, and pages 2-4 and 2-5 for
seats.)
2. Open the oil tank filler cap, and very
slowly add engine oil to the oil tank.
3. Stop pouring when the oil just reaches
the bottom of the filler tube.
Oil tank capacity:
3.8 L (1.0 US gal, 0.84 Imp gal)
