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.EAU13441
Catalytic converter
This vehicle is equipped with catalytic
converters in the exhaust system.
