Filling the oil tank

WARNING

Do not add gasoline to the oil tank. Fire or explosion could result.

Oil in the bilge is a serious fire hazard. Wipe up any spilled oil immediately.

CAUTION:

Do not allow the oil tank to become com- pletely empty. If the oil tank becomes empty the oil injection pump must be bled to ensure proper oil flow, otherwise engine damage may occur. If bleeding of the oil pump is necessary, have a Yamaha dealer bleed it.

1.Open the hood to access the oil tank filler cap. Also, remove all seats to watch the oil level. (See page 2-7 for hood, and 2-5 and 2-6 for rear and front seat.)

2.Open the oil tank filler cap, and very slowly add engine oil to the oil tank.

3.Stop pouring when the oil just reaches the bottom of the filler tube.

Oil tank capacity:

5.5 L (1.45 US gal, 1.21 Imp gal)
