INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS3-73EAU13210FuelMake sure that there is sufficient fuel inthe tank. Fill the fuel tank to the bottomof the filler tube as shown.WARNINGEWA10880 Do not overfill the fuel tank, oth-erwise it may overflow when thefuel warms up and expands. Avoid spilling fuel on the hot en-gine.CAUTION:ECA10070Immediately wipe off spilled fuelwith a clean, dry, soft cloth, sincefuel may deteriorate painted surfac-es or plastic parts.EAU13300CAUTION:ECA11400Use only unleaded gasoline. The useof leaded gasoline will cause severedamage to internal engine parts,such as the valves and piston rings,as well as to the exhaust system.Your Yamaha engine has been de-signed to use regular unleaded gaso-line with a pump octane number[(R+M)/2] of 86 or higher, or a researchoctane number of 91 or higher. Ifknocking (or pinging) occurs, use agasoline of a different brand or premi-um unleaded fuel. Use of unleaded fuelwill extend spark plug life and reducemaintenance costs.GasoholThere are two types of gasohol: gaso-hol containing ethanol and that contain-ing methanol. Gasohol containingethanol can be used if the ethanol con-tent does not exceed 10%. Gasoholcontaining methanol is not recom-mended by Yamaha because it cancause damage to the fuel system or ve-hicle performance problems.1. Fuel tank filler tube2.
