• 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.

When loading within this weight limit,
keep the following in mind:
● This vehicle is not designed to

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

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-
ries related to changes in the vehicle.

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

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.

● Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at

use, the maintenance intervals may
to ensure cleaner air, but are also
vital to proper engine operation and
maximum performance. In the follow-

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.

● 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.

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-

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.

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,

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.
