ing ethanol can be used if the ethanol content
does not exceed 10% (E10). Gasoline con-
taining methanol is not recommended be-
cause it can cause damage to the fuel system
or vehicle performance problems.TIPThis mark identifies the recommended fuel
for this vehicle as specified by European
regulation (EN228).
 Check that gasoline nozzle has the same
identifier when fueling.
Portable fuel containers
If you carry a portable fuel container in the
bed of your Yamaha YXZ1000R, be sure to
secure it with the cap tightened before driving
the vehicle.
Always place a portable fuel container on the
ground before filling it. Before removing the
container cap, touch the container with the
fuel dispenser nozzle. Keep fuel dispenser
nozzle in contact with container inlet when fill-
ing. WARNING! Never refill a fuel container
in the bed of any vehicle. Fire may result
from a build-up of static electricity. The
discharge of this build-up while refueling
can cause a spark and ignite the gasoline.[EWB03270]
