Fuel
1. Fuel tank filler tube

in the tank. Fill the fuel tank to the
bottom of the filler tube as shown.
EWA10880
s s
WARNING
●Do not overfill the fuel tank,
otherwise it may overflow
when the fuel warms up and
expands.
●Avoid spilling fuel on the hot
engine.
ECA10070
CAUTION:
Immediately wipe off spilled fuel
with a clean, dry, soft cloth, since
fuel may deteriorate painted surfa-
ces or plastic parts.
EAU13270
Your Yamaha engine has been desig-
ned to use regular unleaded gasoline
with 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.
EAU13431
Catalytic converter
This model is equipped with a cataly-
tic converter in the exhaust system.
EWA10860
s s
WARNING
The exhaust system is hot after
operation. Make sure that the
exhaust system has cooled down
before doing any maintenance
work.
ECA10700
CAUTION:
The following precautions must be
observed to prevent a fire hazard or
other damages.
●Use only unleaded gasoline.
The use of leaded gasoline will
cause unrepairable damage to
the catalytic converter.
●Never park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.
●Do not allow the engine to idle
too long.
Recommended fuel:
REGULAR UNLEADED GASOLINE
ONLY
