Fuel
This motorcycle has been designed to
use a premixed fuel of gasoline and 2-
stroke engine oil. Always mix the gaso-
line and oil in a clean container before
filling the fuel tank.
NOTICE
ECA15602
Always use fresh gasoline, an d fill
the fuel tank with a fresh mix just be-
fore ri din g. Do not use premixe d fuel
that is more than a few hours ol d.
Mixin g g asoline an d 2-stroke en gine
oil
Pour 2-stroke engine oil into a clean
container, and then add gasoline. To
mix the fuel thoroughly, shake the con-
tainer from side to side.
NOTICE
ECA15591
Use only unlea ded g asoline. The use
of lead ed g asoline will cause severe
d amag e to internal en gine parts,
such as the piston rin gs as well as to
the exhaust system.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use premium unleaded gas-
oline with a pump octane number
[(R+M)/2] of 91 or higher, or a research
octane number of 95 or higher. If
knocking (or pinging) occurs, use a
gasoline of a different brand.
If the recommended 2-stroke engine
oil is not available, use an equivalent
oil.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that con-
taining methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if ethanol content
does not exceed 10% (E10). Gasohol
containing methanol is not recom-
mended by Yamaha because it can
cause damage to the fuel system or
vehicle performance problems.
NOTICE
ECA15552
Never mix two bran ds of 2-stroke
en gine oil in the same batch. Always
use the same type of oil to ensure
maximum en gine performance.
Shoul d it be necessary to use a dif-
ferent oil bran d, b e sure to drain the
