Recommended fuel:REGULAR UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLYFuel tank capacity:4.5 L (1.18 US gal) (0.98 Imp.gal)

YourYamaha 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 a gasoline or premium unleaded fuel. Use of unleaded fuel will extend spark plug life and reduce maintenance cost.

Gasohol

There are two types of gasohol: gaso- hol containing ethanol and that containing methanol. Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if ethanol content does not exceed 10%. Gasohol containing methanol is not recommended by Yamaha because it can cause damage to the fuel system or vehicle performance problems.
