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.

Fuel cock
1. Fuel cock
The fuel cock supplies fuel from the
tank to the carburetor while filtering it
also.
The fuel cock has three positions:
OFF
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.RES
This indicates reserve. If you run out
of fuel while riding, move the lever to
this position. Fill the tank at the first
opportunity. Be sure to set the lever
back to “ON” after refueling!
