INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS

3-15

Your Yamaha engine has been de-

signed to use premium unleaded gaso-

line 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. Use of un-

leaded fuel will extend spark plug life

and reduce maintenance costs.

Gasohol

There are two types of gasohol: gaso-

hol containing ethanol and that contain-

ing methanol. Gasohol containing

ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-

tent does not exceed 10%. Gasohol

containing methanol is not recom-

mended by Yamaha because it can

cause damage to the fuel system or ve-

hicle performance problems.

CAUTION:

observed to prevent a fire hazard or

other damages.

possible fire hazards such as

grass or other materials that

easily burn.
