ur Yamaha engine has been de-ned to use regular unleaded gaso- with a pump octane number+M)/2] of 86 or higher, or a researchane number of 91 or higher. Ifcking (or pinging) occurs, use aoline of a different brand or premi- unleaded fuel. Use of unleaded fuel extend spark plug life and reduceintenance costs. If unleaded gaso- is not available, then leaded regu-gasoline can be used.

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%.

Exhaust fumesare poisonous, and inhalingthem can cause loss of con-sciousness and death within ashort time. Always make surethat there is adequate ventila-tion.Before starting out, make surethat the sidestand is up. If thesidestand is not raised com-pletely, it could contact theground and distract the opera-tor, resulting in a possible lossof control.

bserve these precautions:� When checking the fluid level,

make sure that the top of the brakefluid reservoir is level.

� Use only the recommended quali-ty brake fluid, otherwise the rubberseals may deteriorate, causingleakage and poor braking perfor-mance.

� Refill with the same type of brakefluid. Mixing fluids may result in aharmful chemical reaction andlead to poor braking performance.

� Be careful that water does not en-ter the brake fluid reservoir whenrefilling. Water will significantlylower the boiling point of the fluidand may result in vapor lock.

� Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-ed surfaces or plastic parts. Al-ways clean up spilled fluidimmediately.

� As the brake pads wear, it is nor-mal for the brake fluid level togradually go down. However, if thebrake fluid level goes down sud-denly, have a Yamaha dealercheck the cause.
