If gasoline spills on your skin, wash with
soap and water. If gasoline spills on your
clothing, change your clothes.
Your Yamaha engine has been designed to
use regular unleaded gasoline with a pump
octane number ([R+M]/2) of 86 or higher, or
research octane number of 91 or higher. If
knocking or pinging occurs, use a different
brand of gasoline or premium unleaded gas-
oline. Unleaded fuel will give you longer spark
plug life and reduced maintenance cost.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol con-
taining ethanol and that containing methanol.
Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if
ethanol content does not exceed 10% (E10).
Gasohol containing methanol is not recom-
mended by Yamaha because it may cause
fuel system damage or vehicle performance
problems.
Portable fuel containers
If you carry a portable fuel container in the
bed of your Yamaha YXZ1000R, be sure to
secure it with the cap tightened before driving
the vehicle.
Always place a portable fuel container on the
ground before filling it. Before removing the
container cap, touch the container with the
fuel dispenser nozzle. Keep fuel dispenser
nozzle in contact with container inlet when fill-
ing.
WARNING! Never refill a fuel container
in the bed of any vehicle. Fire may result
from a build-up of static electricity. The
discharge of this build-up while refueling
can cause a spark and ignite the gasoline.
