ur Yamaha engine has been de-ned to use regular unleaded gaso- with a pump octane number+M)/2] of 91 or higher, or a researchane number of 95 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.

soholre are two types of gasohol: gaso-

containing ethanol and that contain- methanol. Gasohol containinganol can be used if the ethanol con-t does not exceed 10%. Gasoholtaining methanol is not recom-nded by Yamaha because it canse damage to the fuel system or ve-

le performance problems.

Checking the spark plugs The spark plugs are important enginecomponents, which should be checkedperiodically, preferably by a Yamahadealer. Since heat and deposits willcause any spark plug to slowly erode,they should be removed and checkedin accordance with the periodic mainte-nance and lubrication chart. In addition,the condition of the spark plugs can re-veal the condition of the engine.The porcelain insulator around the cen-ter electrode of each spark plug shouldbe a medium-to-light tan (the ideal col-or when the motorcycle is ridden nor-mally), and all spark plugs installed inthe engine should have the same color.If any spark plug shows a distinctly dif-ferent color, the engine could be defec-tive. Do not attempt to diagnose suchproblems yourself. Instead, have aYamaha dealer check the motorcycle.If a spark plug shows signs of electrodeerosion and excessive carbon or otherdeposits, it should be replaced.

fore installing a spark plug, the sparkug gap should be measured with aire thickness gauge and, if necessary,justed to specification.

Clean the surface of the spark pluggasket and its mating surface, and thenwipe off any grime from the spark plugthreads.

NOTE:_

If a torque wrench is not available wheninstalling a spark plug, a good estimateof the correct torque is 1/4–1/2 turnpast finger tight. However, the sparkplug should be tightened to the speci-fied torque as soon as possible. _

Before cleaning1. Cover the muffler outlet with a

plastic bag after the engine hascooled down.

2. Make sure that all caps and coversas well as all electrical couplersand connectors, including thespark plug caps, are tightly in-stalled.

3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt,like oil burnt onto the crankcase,with a degreasing agent and abrush, but never apply such prod-ucts onto seals, gaskets, sprock-ets, the drive chain and wheelaxles. Always rinse the dirt anddegreaser off with water.
