Sort of standard fingering is x-x/x-- +side C works on most saxes
Not got a Yamaha but I use xxx/--- +side C on my tenors (Keilwerth and Selmer)

I use 0XX/OOO + Octave key on Selmer Ref. 54.

Maybe reverse to second finger left hand and first right - like a c with the right hand f.
It depends on where you are coming from and where you are going to.
Second, third left hand and second right - like f# without first finger left hand - works very well for me too.

Yes, this one works very well, but for me it often is too complicated.
