Fuel
This motorcycle has been designed to
use a premixed fuel of gasoline and 2-
stroke engine oil. Always mix the gaso-
line and oil in a clean container before
filling the fuel tank.
NOTICE
ECA15602
Always use fresh gasoline, an d fill
the fuel tank with a fresh mix just be-
fore ri din g. Do not use premixe d fuel
that is more than a few hours ol d.
Mixin g g asoline an d 2-stroke en gine
oil
Pour 2-stroke engine oil into a clean
container, and then add gasoline. To
mix the fuel thoroughly, shake the con-
tainer from side to side. Why Yamalu
be
YAMALUBE oil is a Genuine YAMAHA Part born of the engineers’ passion
and belief that engine oil is an impor-
tant liquid engine component. We form
teams of specialists in the fields of me-
chanical engineering, chemistry, elec-
tronics and track testing, and have
them develop the engine together with
the oil it will use. Yamalube oils take full
advantage of the base oil’s qualities
and blend in the ideal balance of addi-
tives to make sure the final oil clears
our performance standards. Thus,
Yamalube mineral, semisynthetic and synthetic oils have their own distinct
characters and value. Yamaha’s expe-
rience gained over many years of re-
search and development into oil since
the 1960’s helps make Yamalube the
best choice for your Yamaha engine.
If the recommended 2-stroke engine
oil is not available, use an equivalent
high-quality oil.
NOTICE
ECA15552
Never mix two bran ds of 2-stroke
en gine oil in the same batch. Always
use the same type of oil to ensure
maximum en gine performance.
Shoul d it be necessary to use a dif-
ferent oil bran d, b e sure to drain the
fuel tank an d the car buretor float
cham ber of the ol d premixe d fuel
prior to fillin g with the new type.

Gasoline
This model’s engine is designed to use
premium unleaded gasoline with a
pump octane number [(R+M)/2] of 91
or higher, or a research octane number
(RON) of 95 or higher. If knocking or
pinging occurs, try a gasoline of a dif-
ferent brand.
NOTICE
ECA15591
Use only unlea
ded g asoline. The use
of lead ed g asoline will cause severe
d ama ge to internal en gine parts,
such as the piston rin gs as well as to
the exhaust system.
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 should not
be used as it can cause engine or fuel
system problems.

WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline an d gasoline vapors are
extremely flamma ble. To avoi d fires
an d explosions an d to re duce the
risk of injury when refueling , follow
these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the en- gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity 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.
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi- ately. NOTICE: Immediately
wipe off spille d fuel with a clean,
d ry, soft cloth, since fuel may
d eteriorate painte d surfaces or
plastic parts.
[ECA10072]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous an d can
cause injury or death. Han dle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gasoline
b y mouth. If you shoul d swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or get some gasoline in
