Make sure there is sufficient fuel in the tank.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Avoid spilling fuel on the
hot engine. Do not fill the fuel tank above the bottom of
the filler tube as shown in the illustration or it may
overflow when the fuel heats up later and expands.
Recommended fuel:
UNLEADED FUEL
Fuel tank capacity:
Total:
13.0 L ( 2.860 Imp gal, 3.434 US gal)
Reserve:
1.7 L ( 0.374 Imp gal, 0.450 Us gal)
WARNING:
CAUTION:
Your Yamaha engine has been designed to use regular
unleaded gasoline with a pump octane number ([R+m]/2)
of 86 or higher, or research octane number of 91 or higher.
If knocking or pinging occurs, use a different brand of
gasoline or premium unleaded fuel. Unleaded fuel will give
you longer spark plug life and reduced maintenance cost.
If unleaded gasoline is not available, then leaded regular
gasoline can be used.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol; gasohol containing ethanol
and that containing methanol. Gasohol containing ethanol
can be used if ethanol content does not exceed 10%.
Gasohol containing methanol is not recommended by
Yamaha because it can cause fuel system damage or
vehicle performance problems.
