Recommended fuel:
UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
4.7 L (1.24 US gal) (1.03 Imp.gal)

cC
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts, such
as the valves and piston rings, as well
as to the exhaust system.
Your Yamaha engine has been designed
to use regular unleaded gasoline with a
pump octane number [(R+M)/2] of 86 or
higher, or a research octane number of
91 or higher. If knocking (or pinging) oc-
curs, use a gasoline of a different brand
or premium unleaded fuel. Use of un-
leaded fuel will extend spark plug life
and reduce maintenance costs.
