wash with soap and water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothing, change
your clothes.

NOTICE
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 premium unleaded gaso-
line with a pump octane number
[(R+M)/2] of 91 or higher, or a research
octane number of 95 or higher. If
knocking (or pinging) occurs, use a
gasoline of a different brand. Use of un-
leaded fuel will extend spark plug life
and reduce maintenance costs.Gasohol (for Canada)
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that contain-
ing methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-
tent does not exceed 10%. Gasohol
containing methanol is not recom-
mended by Yamaha because it can
cause damage to the fuel system or ve-
hicle performance problems.
EAU13445
Catalytic converters This vehicle is equipped with catalytic
converters in the exhaust system.
WARNING
EWA10862
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. To prevent a fire hazard or
burns:
Do not park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.
Park the vehicle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.
Make sure that the exhaust sys-
tem has cooled down before do-
ing any maintenance work.
Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up ofheat.
Recommended fuel:
Premium unleaded gasoline only
Fuel tank capacity:
7.0 L (1.85 US gal, 1.54 Imp.gal)

tervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. Have a
Yamaha dealer change the coolant.

Cleaning the air filter element The air filter element should be cleaned
at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
Clean the air filter element more fre-
quently if you are riding in unusually
wet or dusty areas.
1. Remove the air filter case cover by
removing the screws.
2. Pull the air filter element out, clean
it with solvent, and then squeeze
the remaining solvent out.
WARNING! Use only a dedicat-
ed parts cleaning solvent. To
avoid the risk of fire or explo-
sion, do not use gasoline or sol-
vents with a low flash point.
[EWA10431]
NOTICE: To avoid dam-
aging the foam material, handle
it gently and carefully, and do
not twist or wring it.
[ECA10511]
3. Apply oil of the recommended type
to the entire surface of the ele-
ment, and then squeeze the ex-
cess oil out.
