TIP
z This mark identifies the recom-
mended fuel for this vehicle as
specified by European regulation
(EN228).
z Check that gasoline nozzle has
the same identifier when fueling.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
95 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: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that con-
taining methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-
tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-
ohol containing methanol is not
recommended by Yamaha because it
can cause damage to the fuel system
or vehicle performance problems.
EAU58301
Fuel tank overflow hose
Before operating the vehicle:
z Check the fuel tank overflow hose
connection and routing.
z Check the fuel tank overflow hose
for cracks or damage, and replace
it if necessary.
z Make sure that the fuel tank over-
flow hose is not blocked, and
clean it if necessary.
