GASOLINE ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
Total amount:
6.5 L
Your Yamaha engine has been
designed 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.
EWA00008
Since gasoline is flammable, the
following precautions must be
observed.
•Stop the engine before
refueling.
•Never attempt to refuel the
scooter while smoking or near
an open flame.
•Take special care not to spill
gasoline over the engine or
muffler when refueling
immediately after operation.
•Before starting the engine,
quickly wipe off any gasoline
spilled on the engine or muffler.
