\bse only unleaded gasoline. The use
o\f 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 en\fine has been \besi\f-

The exhaust system is hot a\fter
operation. 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
system has cooled down be\fo-
re doing any maintenance
work.
Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a \few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up o\f
heat.
