Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline
in the tank.
EWA10881
s s
WARNING
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow
these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the engi-
ne and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the
vicinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop
filling when the fuel reaches the
bottom of the filler tube. Because
fuel expands when it heats up,
heat from the engine or the sun
can cause fuel to spill out of the
fuel tank.
1. Fuel tank filler tube
2. Fuel level
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel imme-
diately. NOTICE: Immediately
wipe off spilled fuel with a cle-
an, dry, soft cloth, since fuel
may deteriorate painted surfa-
ces or plastic parts.
[ECA10071]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel
tank cap.
EWA15151

se injury or death. Handle gasoline

vapor, or get some gasoline in youreyes, see your doctor immediately.
If gasoline spills on your skin, wash
with soap and water. If gasoline
spills on your clothing, change your
clothes.
EAU13390
ECA11400
NOTICE
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 premium unleaded gasoli-
ne with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
Recommended fuel:
PREMIUM UNLEADED
GASOLINE ONLY

Adjusting the throttle cable
free play
1. Throttle cable free play
The throttle cable free play should
measure 3.0 -5.0 mm (0.12 -0.20 in) at
the throttle grip. Periodically check
the throttle cable free play and, if
necessary, adjust it as follows.
TIP
The engine idling speed must be
correctly adjusted before checking
and adjusting the throttle cable free
play.
1. Remove cowling A (See page
6-6).
2. Loosen the locknut.3. To increase the throttle cable free
play, turn the adjusting nut in
direction (a). To decrease the
throttle cable free play, turn the
adjusting nut in direction (b).
1. Rubber cap
2. Locknut
3. Adjusting nut
4. Tighten the locknut.
5. Install the cowling.

Valve clearance
The valve clearance changes with
use, resulting in improper air-fuel mix-
ture and/or engine noise. To prevent
this from occurring, the valve clearan-
ce must be adjusted by a Yamaha
dealer at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
