NOTE:
The fuel tank cap cannot be installed
unless the key is in the lock. In addi-
tion, the key cannot be removed if the
cap is not properly installed and loc-
ked.
EWA10120
s s
WARNING
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed and locked before
riding.
EAU13220
Fuel
Make sure that there is sufficient fuel
in the tank. When refueling, be sure to
insert the pump nozzle into the fuel
tank filler hole and to fill the tank to
the bottom of the filler tube as shown.
1. Filing pipe
2. Fuel level
EWA10880
s s
WARNING
Do not overfill the fuel tank,
otherwise it may overflow
when the fuel warms up and
expands.
Avoid spilling fuel on the hot
engine.
ECA10070
CAUTION
Immediately wipe off spilled fuel
with a clean, dry, soft cloth, since
fuel may deteriorate painted surfa-
ces or plastic parts.
EAU13320
Recommended fuel:
REGULAR UNLEADED GASOLINE
ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
10,7 L (2,82 US gal) (2,35 Imp.gal)
Fuel reserve amount:
1,8 L (0,48 US gal) (0,40 Imp.gal)
ECA11400
CAUTION
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 sys-
tem.
Your Yamaha engine has been desig-
ned to use regular unleaded gasoline
with a research octane number of 91
or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different
brand or premium unleaded fuel. Use
of unleaded fuel will extend spark
plug life and reduce maintenance
costs.
EAU13430
Catalytic converter
This model is equipped with a cataly-
tic converter in the exhaust chamber.
EWA10860
s s
WARNING
The exhaust system is hot after
operation. Make sure that the
exhaust system has cooled down
before doing any maintenance
work.

ECA10700
CAUTION
The following precautions must be
observed to prevent a fire hazard or
other damages.
Use only unleaded gasoline.
The use of leaded gasoline will
cause unrepairable damage to
the catalytic converter.
Never park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.
Do not allow the engine to idle
too long.
EAU13460
2-stroke engine oil
1. Oil tank cap
2. Sensor
Make sure that there is sufficient oil in
the 2-stroke engine oil tank. Add the
recommended 2-stroke engine oil if
necessary.
NOTE:
Make sure that the 2-stroke engine oil
tank cap is properly installed.
Recommended oil:
Yamalube 2 or equivalent 2-stroke
engine oil (JASO grade “FC”, or ISO
grades “EG-C” or “EG-D”)
Oil quantity:
1,3 L (1,37 US qt) (0,29 Imp.qt)
EAU13560
Fuel cock
The fuel cock supplies fuel from the
tank to the carburetor while filtering it
also.
The fuel cock has three positions:OFF
1. Arrow mark
With the lever in this position, fuel will
not flow. Always return the lever to
this position when the engine is not
running.
ON
With the lever in this position, fuel
flows to the carburetor. Normal riding
is done with the lever in this position.
