Be a Responsible Owner  
As the vehicle’s owner, you are re-  
sponsible for the safe and proper op-  
eration of your scooter.  
Scooters are single-track vehicles.  
Their safe use and operation are de-  
pendent upon the use of proper riding  
techniques as well as the expertise of  
the operator. Every operator should  
know the following requirements be-  
fore riding this scooter.

est you.  
• Use extra caution when you  
are approaching and passing  
through intersections, since in-  
tersections are the most likely  
places for scooter accidents to  
occur.  
• Ride where other motorists can  
see you. Avoid riding in another  
motorist’s blind spot.  
• Never maintain a scooter with-  
out proper knowledge. Contact  
an authorized scooter dealer  
to inform you on basic scooter  
maintenance. Certain mainte-  
nance can only be carried out  
by certified staff.  
Safe Riding  
Perform the pre-operation checks  
each time you use the vehicle to make  
sure it is in safe operating condition.  
Failure to inspect or maintain the ve-  
hicle properly increases the possibility  
of an accident or equipment damage.  
See page 4-2 for a list of pre-opera-  
tion checks.

This scooter is designed to carry  
the operator only. No passen-

The failure of motorists to detect  
and recognize scooters in traf-  
fic is the predominating cause  
of automobile/scooter accidents.

Do not run engine outdoors  
where engine exhaust can be  
drawn into a building through  
openings such as windows and  
doors.  
When loading within this weight limit,  
keep the following in mind:  
This vehicle is not designed to  
pull a trailer or to be attached  
to a sidecar.  
Cargo and accessory weight  
should be kept as low and close  
to the scooter as possible. Se-  
curely pack your heaviest items  
as close to the center of the ve-  
hicle as possible and make sure  
to distribute the weight as evenly  
as possible on both sides of the  
scooter to minimize imbalance or  
instability.  
Shifting weights can create a  
sudden imbalance. Make sure  
that accessories and cargo are  
securely attached to the scooter  
before riding. Check accessory  
mounts and cargo restraints fre-  
quently.  
Loading  
Genuine Yamaha Accessories  
Adding accessories or cargo to your  
scooter can adversely affect stability  
and handling if the weight distribution  
of the scooter is changed. To avoid  
the possibility of an accident, use ex-  
treme caution when adding cargo or  
accessories to your scooter. Use extra  
care when riding a scooter that has  
added cargo or accessories. Here,  
along with the information about ac-  
cessories below, are some general  
guidelines to follow if loading cargo to  
Choosing accessories for your vehicle  
is an important decision. Genuine  
Yamaha accessories, which are avail-

Aftermarket Parts, Accessories,  
and Modifications  
Use caution when adding electri-  
cal accessories. If electrical ac-  
cessories exceed the capacity of  
the scooter’s electrical system, an  
electric failure could result, which  
could cause a dangerous loss of  
lights or engine power.  
While you may find aftermarket prod-  
ucts similar in design and quality to  
genuine Yamaha accessories, recog-  
nize that some aftermarket accesso-  
ries or modifications are not suitable  
because of potential safety hazards  
to you or others. Installing aftermarket  
products or having other modifications  
performed to your vehicle that change  
any of the vehicle’s design or opera-  
tion characteristics can put you and  
others at greater risk of serious injury  
or death. You are responsible for inju-

riding.  
Further safe-riding points  
Be sure to observe following instruc-  
tions before transporting the scooter  
in another vehicle.  
Remove all loose items from the  
scooter.  
Point the front wheel straight  
ahead on the trailer or in the truck  
bed, and choke it in a rail to pre-  
vent movement.  
Secure the scooter with tie-downs  
or suitable straps that are at-  
tached to solid parts of the scoot-  
er, such as the frame or upper  
front fork triple clamp (and not, for  
example, to rubber-mounted han-  
dlebars or turn signals, or parts  
that could break). Choose the  
location for the straps carefully  
so the straps will not rub against  
painted surfaces during transport.  
The suspension should be com-  
pressed somewhat by the tie-  
downs, if possible, so that the  
scooter will not bounce exces-  
sively during transport.  
Always wear a helmet, gloves,  
trousers (tapered around the cuff  
and ankle so they do not flap),  
and a bright colored jacket.  
Do not carry too much luggage  
on the scooter. An overloaded  
scooter is unstable. Use a strong  
cord to secure any luggage to the  
carriers. A loose load will affect  
the stability of the scooter and  
could divert your attention from  
the road. (See page 1-5.)  
Make sure to signal clearly when  
making turns.

Braking can be extremely difficult  
on a wet road. Avoid hard brak-  
ing, because the scooter could  
slide. Apply the brakes slowly  
when stopping on a wet surface.  
Slow down as you approach a  
corner or turn. Once you have  
completed a turn, accelerate  
slowly.  
Be careful when passing parked  
cars. A driver might not see you  
and open a door in your path.  
Railroad crossings, streetcar  
rails, iron plates on road con-  
struction sites, and manhole  
covers become extremely slip-  
pery when wet. Slow down and  
cross them with caution. Keep the  
scooter upright, otherwise it could  
slide out from under you.  
The brake pads and linings  
could get wet when you wash  
the scooter. After washing the  
scooter, check the brakes before

ethanol can be used if the ethanol  
content does not exceed 10% (E10).  
Gasohol containing methanol is not  
recommended by Yamaha because it  
can cause damage to the fuel system  
or vehicle performance problems.  
EAU36083  
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop  
filling when the fuel reaches the  
bottom of the filler tube. Because  
fuel expands when it heats up,  
heat from the engine or the sun  
can cause fuel to spill out of the  
fuel tank.  
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel im-

Tips for reducing fuel con- Engine break-in  
sumption  
There is never a more important pe-  
riod in the life of your engine than the  
period between 0 and 1000 km (600  
mi). For this reason, you should read  
the following material carefully.  
Since the engine is brand new, do not  
put an excessive load on it for the first  
1000 km (600 mi). The various parts  
in the engine wear and polish them-  
selves to the correct operating clear-  
ances. During this period, prolonged  
full-throttle operation or any condition  
that might result in engine overheating  
must be avoided.  
Fuel consumption depends largely on  
your riding style. Consider the follow-  
ing tips to reduce fuel consumption:  
Avoid high engine speeds during  
acceleration.  
Rev the engine freely through the  
gears, but do not use full throttle at  
any time.

(600 mi) of operation, the engine oil  
must be changed and the oil strain-  
er cleaned.[ECA10351]  
Avoid high engine speeds with no  
load on the engine.  
Turn the engine off instead of let-  
ting it idle for an extended length  
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at  
traffic lights or at railroad cross-  
ings).  
1000 km (600 mi) and beyond  
Avoid prolonged full-throttle operation.  
Vary the speed occasionally.

Tire information  
Tires  
This scooter is equipped with tubeless  
tires, tire air valves and cast wheels.  
Tires age, even if they have not been  
used or have only been used occa-  
sionally. Cracking of the tread and  
sidewall rubber, sometimes accompa-  
nied by carcass deformation, is an ev-  
idence of ageing. Old and aged tires  
shall be checked by tire specialists  
to ascertain their suitability for further  
use.  
1
Tires are the only contact between  
the vehicle and the road. Safety in  
all conditions of riding depends on a  
relatively small area of road contact.  
Therefore, it is essential to maintain  
the tires in good condition at all times  
and replace them at the appropriate  
time with the specified tires.

Always check the tires before operat-  
ing the scooter. If a tire tread shows  
crosswise lines (minimum tread

fragments in it, or if the sidewall is  
cracked, contact a Yamaha dealer im-  
mediately and have the tire replaced.

The replacement of all wheel-  
and brake-related parts, includ-  
ing the tires, should be left to  
a Yamaha dealer, who has the  
necessary professional knowl-  
edge and experience.  
The wheel rims should be  
checked for cracks, bends, warp-  
age or other damage before each  
ride. If any damage is found,  
have a Yamaha dealer replace  
the wheel. Do not attempt even  
the smallest repair to the wheel.  
A deformed or cracked wheel  
must be replaced.  
The wheel should be balanced  
whenever either the tire or wheel  
has been changed or replaced.  
An unbalanced wheel can result  
in poor performance, adverse  
handling characteristics, and a  
shortened tire life.  
1. Front brake lever  
There should be no free play at the  
brake lever end. If there is free play,  
have a Yamaha dealer inspect the  
brake system.  
EWA14211  
WARNING  
A soft or spongy feeling in the  
brake lever can indicate the pres-  
ence of air in the hydraulic system.  
If there is air in the hydraulic sys-  
tem, have a Yamaha dealer bleed  
the system before operating the  
vehicle. Air in the hydraulic system  
will diminish the braking perfor-  
mance, which may result in loss of

Troubleshooting  
Although Yamaha scooters receive a  
thorough inspection before shipment  
from the factory, trouble may occur  
during operation. Any problem in the  
fuel, compression, or ignition systems,  
for example, can cause poor starting  
and loss of power.

The following troubleshooting charts  
represent quick and easy procedures  
for checking these vital systems your-  
self. However, should your scooter  
require any repair, take it to a Yamaha  
dealer, whose skilled technicians have  
the necessary tools, experience, and  
know-how to service the scooter prop-  
erly.  
Use only genuine Yamaha replace-  
ment parts. Imitation parts may look  
like Yamaha parts, but they are often  
inferior, have a shorter service life and  
can lead to expensive repair bills.

Care  
ECA15192  
While the open design of a scooter re-  
veals the attractiveness of the technol-  
ogy, it also makes it more vulnerable.  
Rust and corrosion can develop even  
if high-quality components are used. A  
rusty exhaust pipe may go unnoticed  
on a car, however, it detracts from the  
overall appearance of a scooter. Fre-  
quent and proper care does not only  
comply with the terms of the warranty,  
but it will also keep your scooter look-

performance.

NOTICE  
5. Touch up minor paint damage  
caused by stones, etc.  
Storing the scooter in a poorly  
ventilated room or covering it  
with a tarp, while it is still wet,  
will allow water and humidity to  
seep in and cause rust.  
Avoid using abrasive polishing  
compounds as they will wear  
away the paint.  
6. Wax all painted surfaces.  
7. Let the scooter dry completely  
before storing or covering it.  
EWA10942  
WARNING  
To prevent corrosion, avoid  
damp cellars, stables (because  
of the presence of ammonia)  
and areas where strong chemi-  
cals are stored.  
Contaminants on the brakes or  
tires can cause loss of control.  
Make sure that there is no oil  
or wax on the brakes or tires.  
If necessary, clean the brake  
discs and brake linings with a  
regular brake disc cleaner or  
acetone, and wash the tires  
with warm water and a mild de-  
tergent.  
TIP  
Consult a Yamaha dealer for ad-  
vice on what products to use.  
Washing, rainy weather or humid  
climates can cause the headlight  
lens to fog. Turning the headlight  
on for a short period of time will  
help remove the moisture from  
the lens.

5. Check and, if necessary, correct  
the tire air pressure, and then  
lift the scooter so that both of its  
wheels are off the ground. Alter-  
natively, turn the wheels a little  
every month in order to prevent  
the tires from becoming degraded  
in one spot.  
a. Remove the spark plug cap  
and spark plug.  
b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine  
oil into the spark plug bore.  
c. Install the spark plug cap onto  
the spark plug, and then place  
the spark plug on the cylinder  
head so that the electrodes are  
grounded. (This will limit spark-  
ing during the next step.)  
d. Turn the engine over several  
times with the starter. (This will  
coat the cylinder wall with oil.)  
e. Remove the spark plug cap  
from the spark plug, and then  
install the spark plug and the  
spark plug cap. WARNING!  
To prevent damage or injury  
from sparking, make sure to  
ground the spark plug elec-  
trodes while turning the en-  
gine over.[EWA10951]  
6. Cover the muffler outlet with a  
plastic bag to prevent moisture  
from entering it.  
7. Remove the battery and fully  
charge it. Store it in a cool,  
dry place and charge it once a  
month. Do not store the battery  
in an excessively cold or warm  
place [less than 0 °C (30 °F) or  
more than 30 °C (90 °F)]. For  
more information on storing the  
battery, see page 6-25.

YAMAHA EXTENDED SERVICE (Y.E.S.)  
Keep your Yamaha protected even after your warranty  
expires with genuine Yamaha Extended Service (Y.E.S.).  
In addition, Travel and Recreation Interruption Protection  
(TRIP) is included at no extra cost. TRIP gives you up to  
$250 reimbursement per occurrence for any reasonable  
expenses you incur because your Yamaha needs  
covered service: replacement vehicle rental, emergency  
towing, phone calls, even food and lodging when you are  
away from home. This superb coverage goes into effect  
when you purchase Y.E.S., so it applies to any warranty  
repairs as well as covered repairs during your entire  
Y.E.S. plan period.

Y.E.S. is designed and administered by Yamaha Motor  
Corporation to provide maximum owner satisfaction. You  
get uninterrupted factory-backed coverage for extra  
peace of mind.  
Y.E.S. is flexible. You choose the plan that’s right for  
you: 12 months, 24 months, 36 months or, on certain  
models, even 48 months beyond your warranty period.  
Y.E.S. coverage is honored at any authorized Yamaha  
dealer nationwide.  
Y.E.S. is designed and administered by the same  
Yamaha people who handle your warranty – and it  
shows in the comprehensive coverage benefits. There  
are no mileage limitations. Coverage isn’t limited to  
“moving parts” or the “drive train” like many other plans.  
And Y.E.S. covers manufacturing defects just like the  
warranty. See the sample contract at your Yamaha  
dealer to see how comforting uninterrupted factory-  
backed protection can be.  
Y.E.S. coverage is transferable to a new owner if you  
sell or trade-in. That can make your Yamaha much more  
valuable!  
This excellent Y.E.S. plan coverage is only available to  
Yamaha owners like you, and only while your Yamaha is still  
within the Yamaha Limited Warranty period. So visit your  
authorized Yamaha dealer to get all the facts. He can show  
you how easy it is to protect your investment with Yamaha  
Extended Service.  
You don’t have to pay anything for covered repairs.  
There’s no deductible to pay, and repairs aren’t  
“pro-rated.” You don’t have any “out-of-pocket” expenses  
for covered repairs.
