1-FOR YOUR SAFETY – PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
Inspect your vehicle each time you use it to make sure the vehicle is in safe operating condition.
Always follow the inspection and maintenance procedures and schedules described in the Own-
er’s Manual.
WARNING
Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident
or equipment damage. Do not operate the vehicle if you find any problem. If a problem
cannot be corrected by the procedures provided in this manual, have the vehicle inspect-
ed by a Yamaha dealer.Before using this vehicle, check the following points:
ITEMROUTINE PAGE
Brakes Check operation, free play, fluid level, and fluid leakage.
Fill with DOT 4 brake fluid if necessary. 5-3, 8-35–8-38, 8-40
Parking brake Check for proper operation, condition, and free play. 8-38–8-39

EVU00400Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in the
tank.
WARNING
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are ex-
tremely flammable. To avoid fires and ex-
plosions and to reduce the risk of injury
when refueling, follow these instructions.1. Before refueling, turn off the engine andbe sure that no one is sitting in the vehi-
cle.
Never refuel while smoking, or while in
the vicinity of sparks, open flames, or oth-
er sources of ignition such as the pilot
lights of water heaters and clothes dry-
ers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. 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 immediately. 4. Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed se-
curely.
WARNING
Gasoline is poisonous and can cause inju-
ry or death. Handle gasoline with care.
Never siphon gasoline by mouth. If you
should swallow some gasoline or inhale a
lot of gasoline vapor, or get some gasoline
in your eyes, see your doctor immediately.
If gasoline spills on your skin, wash with
soap and water. If gasoline spills on your
clothing, change your clothes.Your Yamaha engine has been designed to
use regular unleaded gasoline with a re-
search octane number of 91 or higher (95 or
higher for Europe). If knocking or pinging oc-
curs, use a different brand of gasoline or pre-
mium unleaded fuel. Unleaded fuel will give
you longer spark plug life and reduced main-
tenance cost.
