CAUTION:
ECA11400
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings,
as well as to the exhaust system.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with 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.
EAU13580
Fuel cock
This model is equipped with a negative
pressure fuel cock. The fuel cock sup-
plies fuel from the tank to the carburetor
while also filtering it.
The fuel cock lever positions are ex-
plained as follows and shown in the il-
lustrations.
ON
With the fuel cock lever in this position,
fuel flows to the carburetor when the
engine is running. Turn the fuel cock le-
ver to this position when starting the en-
gine and riding. Recommended fuel:
REGULAR UNLEADED
GASOLINE ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
11.0 L (2.91 US gal)
(2.42 Imp.gal)
Fuel reserve amount:
