INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS EAU00185 CAUTION: Immediately wipe off spilled fuel with a clean, dry, soft cloth, since fuel may deteriorate painted surfaces or plastic parts. _ _ EAU04194 Recommended fuel: UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY Fuel tank capacity: Total amount: 17 L (3.74 Imp gal, 4.49 US gal) Reserve amount: 4.5 L (0.99 Imp gal, 1.19 US gal) ECA00102 Your Yamaha engine has been designed to use regular unleaded gasoline with a pump octane number [(R+M)/2] of 86 or higher, or a research octane number of 91 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: gasohol containing ethanol and that containing methanol. Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if the ethanol content does not exceed 10%. Gasohol containing methanol is not recommended by Yamaha because it can cause damage to the fuel system or vehicle performance problems. 3 CAUTION: 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. _ _ 3-8
