SAFETY INFORMATION

electric failure could result, which
could cause a dangerous loss of
engine power.
Gasoline and exhaust gas

GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMA-
BLE:

Always turn the engine off when
refueling.

Take care not to spill any gaso-
line on the engine or exhaust
pipe/muffler when refueling.

Never refuel while smoking or in
the vicinity of an open flame.

Never start the engine or let it run
for any length of time in a closed
area. The exhaust fumes are poi-
sonous and may cause loss of
consciousness and death within a
short time. Always operate your
motorcycle in an area that has ad-
equate ventilation.

Always turn the engine off before
leaving the motorcycle unattend-
ed. When parking the motorcycle,
note the following:

The engine and exhaust pipe/
muffler may be hot, therefore,park the motorcycle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch these hot
areas.

Do not park the motorcycle on a
slope or soft ground, otherwise it
may fall over.

Do not park the motorcycle near
a flammable source (e.g., a ker-
osene heater, or near an open
flame), otherwise it could catch
fire.

When transporting the motorcycle
in another vehicle, make sure that
it is kept upright and that the fuel
cock is turned to “OFF”. If the mo-
torcycle should lean over, gasoline
may leak out of the carburetor or
fuel tank.

If you should swallow any gaso-
line, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor,
or allow gasoline to get into your
eyes, see your doctor immediate-
ly. If any gasoline spills on your
skin or clothing, immediately wash
the affected area with soap and
water and change your clothes.

Fuel
Make sure that there is sufficient fuel in
the tank. When refueling, be sure to in-
sert the pump nozzle into the fuel tank
filler hole and to fill the tank to the bot-
tom of the filler tube as shown.
WARNING

EWA10880

Do not overfill the fuel tank, oth-
erwise it may overflow when the
fuel warms up and expands.

Avoid spilling fuel on the hot en-
gine.
CAUTION:

ECA10070
Immediately wipe off spilled fuel
with a clean, dry, soft cloth, since
fuel may deteriorate painted surfac-
es or plastic parts.
EAU41960
CAUTION:

ECA15590
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the piston rings as well as to
the exhaust system.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of91 or higher. If knocking (or pinging) oc-
curs, use a gasoline of a different brand
or premium unleaded fuel. Use of un-
leaded fuel will extend spark plug life
and reduce maintenance costs.

Fuel tank breather hose
Before operating the motorcycle:

Check the fuel tank breather hose
connection.

Check the fuel tank breather hose
for cracks or damage, and replace
it if damaged.

Make sure that the end of the fuel
tank breather hose is not blocked,
and clean it if necessary.
EAU41201
2-stroke engine oil
Make sure that there is sufficient oil in
the 2-stroke engine oil tank. If the
2-stroke engine oil is at or below the
minimum level as shown in the illustra-
tion, add a sufficient amount of the rec-
ommended 2-stroke engine oil as
follows.
NOTE:

Make sure that the motorcycle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking the
2-stroke engine oil level. A slight tilt to
the side can result in a false reading.
1. Remove the seat. (See page 3-6.)
2. Remove the 2-stroke engine oiltank cap and add the recommend-
ed oil.
3. Install the 2-stroke engine oil tank
cap.

Fuel cock
The fuel cock supplies fuel from the
tank to the carburetor while filtering it al-
so.
The fuel cock has three positions:
OFF
With the lever in this position, fuel will
not flow. Always return the lever to this
position when the engine is not running.
ON
With the lever in this position, fuel flows
to the carburetor. Normal riding is done
with the lever in this position.
RES
This indicates reserve. If you run out of
fuel while riding, move the lever to this
position. Fill the tank at the first oppor-
tunity. Be sure to set the lever back to
“ON” after refueling!
