WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gasoline
by mouth. If you should swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or get some gasoline in
your eyes, see your doctor immedi-
ately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothing, change
your clothes.
EAU76750
NOTICE
ECA11401
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.
TIP
zThis mark identifies the recom-
mended fuel for this vehicle as
specified by European regulation
(EN228).
zCheck that gasoline nozzle has
the same identifier when fueling.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
95 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.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that con-
taining methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-
tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-
ohol containing methanol is not
recommended by Yamaha because it
can cause damage to the fuel system
or vehicle performance problems.
Recommended fuel:
Regular unleaded gasoline (Gasohol
[E10] acceptable)
Fuel tank capacity:
7.2 L (1.9 US gal, 1.6 Imp.gal)

tip of the dipstick and the maxi-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
5. Check the O-ring for damage, and
replace it if necessary.
6. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler
hole, and then tighten the oil filler
cap.
To change the engine oil and clean
the oil strainer
1. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
2. Place an oil pan under the engine
to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the engine oil filler cap
and engine oil drain bolts A and B
to drain the oil from the crankcase.
NOTICE: When removing the
engine oil drain bolt B, the O-
ring, compression spring, and
oil strainer will fall out. Take
care not to lose these parts.

4. Clean the engine oil strainer with
solvent, and then check it for dam-
age and replace it if necessary.
5. Install the engine oil strainer, com-
pression spring, new O-ring and
engine oil drain bolt B.
TIP
Make sure that the O-ring is properly
seated.
