SCOOTERS ARE SINGLE TRACKVEHICLES. THEIR SAFE USE ANDOPERATION ARE DEPENDENTUPON THE USE OF PROPER RIDINGTECHNIQUES AS WELL AS THE EX-PERTISE OF THE OPERATOR. EV-ERY OPERATOR SHOULD KNOWTHE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTSBEFORE RIDING THIS SCOOTER.HE OR SHE SHOULD:
● OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUC-TIONS FROM A COMPETENTSOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OFSCOOTER OPERATION.
● OBSERVE THE WARNINGS ANDMAINTENANCE REQUIRE-MENTS IN THE OWNER’SMANUAL.
● OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING INSAFE AND PROPER RIDINGTECHNIQUES.
● OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECH-NICAL SERVICE AS INDICATEDBY THE OWNER’S MANUALAND/OR WHEN MADE NECES-SARY BY MECHANICAL CONDI-TIONS.
Safe riding● Always make pre-operation
checks. Careful checks may helpprevent an accident.
● This scooter is designed to carrythe operator and passenger.
● The failure of motorists to detectand recognize scooters in traffic isthe predominating cause of auto-mobile/scooter accidents. Manyaccidents have been caused by anautomobile driver who did not seethe scooter. Making yourself con-spicuous appears to be very effec-tive in reducing the chance of thistype of accident.
Therefore:• Wear a brightly colored jacket.• Use extra caution when
approaching and passingthrough intersections, sinceintersections are the most likelyplaces for scooter accidents tooccur.
• Ride where other motorists cansee you. Avoid riding in anothermotorist’s blind spot.
● Many accidents involve inexperi-
enced operators. In fact, many op-erators who have been involved inaccidents do not even have a cur-rent driver’s license.• Make sure that you are quali-
fied and that you only lend yourscooter to other qualifiedoperators.
• Know your skills and limits.Staying within your limits mayhelp you to avoid an accident.
• We recommend that youpractice riding your scooterwhere there is no traffic untilyou have become thoroughlyfamiliar with the scooter and allof its controls.
● Many accidents have been causedby error of the scooter operator. Atypical error made by the operatoris veering wide on a turn due toEXCESSIVE SPEED orundercornering (insufficient leanangle for the speed).• Always obey the speed limit
and never travel faster thanwarranted by road and trafficconditions.
• Always signal before turning or

QQQQQ SAFETY INFORMATIONchanging lanes. Make sure thatother motorists can see you.
● The posture of the operator andpassenger is important for propercontrol.• The operator should keep both
hands on the handlebar andboth feet on the footboardduring operation to maintaincontrol of the scooter.
• The passenger should alwayshold onto the operator, the seatstrap or grab bar, if equipped,with both hands and keep bothfeet on the passenger foot-rests.
• Never carry a passengerunless he or she can firmlyplace both feet on the passen-ger footrests.
● Never ride under the influence ofalcohol or other drugs.
● This scooter is designed for on-road use only. It is not suitable foroff-road use.
Protective apparelThe majority of fatalities from scooteraccidents are the result of head inju-
ries. The use of a safety helmet is thesingle most critical factor in the preven-tion or reduction of head injuries.
● Always wear an approved helmet.● Wear a face shield or goggles. Wind
in your unprotected eyes couldcontribute to an impairment of vi-sion which could delay seeing ahazard.
● The use of a jacket, substantialshoes, trousers, gloves, etc., is ef-fective in preventing or reducingabrasions or lacerations.
● Never wear loose-fitting clothes,otherwise they could catch on thecontrol levers or wheels and causeinjury or an accident.
● Never touch the engine or exhaustsystem during or after operation.They become very hot and cancause burns. Always wear protec-tive clothing that covers your legs,ankles, and feet.
● Passengers should also observethe above precautions.
ModificationsModifications made to this scooter notapproved by Yamaha, or the removal of
original equipment, may render thescooter unsafe for use and may causesevere personal injury. Modificationsmay also make your scooter illegal touse.

QQQQQ SAFETY INFORMATIONkeep the following in mind:
● Cargo and accessory weightshould be kept as low and close tothe scooter as possible. Make sureto distribute the weight as evenlyas possible on both sides of thescooter to minimize imbalance orinstability.
● Shifting weights can create a sud-den imbalance. Make sure that ac-cessories and cargo are securelyattached to the scooter beforeriding. Check accessory mountsand cargo restraints frequently.
● Never attach any large or heavyitems to the handlebar, front fork,or front fender. Such items can cre-ate unstable handling or a slowsteering response.
AccessoriesGenuine Yamaha accessories havebeen specifically designed for use onthis scooter. Since Yamaha cannot testall other accessories that may be avail-able, you must personally be respon-sible for the proper selection, installa-tion and use of non-Yamaha accesso-ries. Use extreme caution when select-
ing and installing any accessories.Keep the following guidelines in mind,as well as those provided under “Load-ing” when mounting accessories.
● Never install accessories or carrycargo that would impair the perfor-mance of your scooter. Carefullyinspect the accessory before us-ing it to make sure that it does notin any way reduce ground clear-ance or cornering clearance, limitsuspension travel, steering travelor control operation, or obscurelights or reflectors.• Accessories fitted to the
handlebar or the front fork areacan create instability due toimproper weight distribution oraerodynamic changes. Ifaccessories are added to thehandlebar or front fork area,they must be as lightweight aspossible and should be kept toa minimum.
• Bulky or large accessories mayseriously affect the stability ofthe scooter due to aerody-namic effects. Wind mayattempt to lift the scooter, or
the scooter may becomeunstable in cross winds. Theseaccessories may also causeinstability when passing orbeing passed by large vehicles.
• Certain accessories candisplace the operator from hisor her normal riding position.This improper position limitsthe freedom of movement ofthe operator and may limitcontrol ability, therefore, suchaccessories are not recom-mended.
● Use caution when adding electri-cal accessories. If electrical acces-sories exceed the capacity of thescooter’s electrical system an elec-tric failure could result, which couldcause a dangerous loss of lightsor engine power.
Gasoline and exhaust gas● GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAM-
MABLE:• Always turn the engine off
when refueling.• Take care not to spill any

Recommended fuel:UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:5.7 L (1.5 US gal) (1.25 Imp.gal)
Your Yamaha engine has been designedto use regular unleaded gasoline with apump octane number [(R+M)/2] of 86or higher, or a research octane numberof 91 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)occurs, use a gasoline of a differentbrand or premium unleaded fuel. Useof unleaded fuel will extend spark pluglife and reduce maintenance costs.
GasoholThere are two types of gasohol: gaso-hol containing ethanol and that contain-ing methanol. Gasohol containing etha-nol can be used if the ethanol content
does not exceed 10%. Gasohol contain-ing methanol is not recommended byYamaha because it can cause damageto the fuel system or vehicle perfor-mance problems.

PRE-OPERATION CHECKSEAU15593
The condition of a vehicle is the owner’s responsibility. Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly,even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of exposure to the elements). Any damage, fluid leakage or lossof tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a thorough visualinspection, to check the following points before each ride.
NOTE:Pre-operation checks should be made each time the vehicle is used. Such an inspection can be accomplished in a veryshort time; and the added safety it assures is more than worth the time involved.
EWA11150
wIf any item in the Pre-operation check list is not working properly, have it inspected and repaired before operatingthe vehicle.

• Refill with the same type of brakefluid. Mixing fluids may result in aharmful chemical reaction and leadto poor braking performance.
• Be careful that water does not en-ter the master cylinder when refill-ing. Water will significantly lower theboiling point of the fluid and mayresult in vapor lock.
• Brake fluid may deteriorate paintedsurfaces or plastic parts. Alwaysclean up spilled fluid immediately.
• As the brake pads wear, it is nor-mal for the brake fluid level togradually go down. However, if thebrake fluid level goes down sud-denly, have a Yamaha dealer checkthe cause.

Fre-quent and proper care does not onlycomply with the terms of the warranty,but it will also keep your scooter look-ing good, extend its life and optimize itsperformance.
Before cleaning1. Cover the muffler outlet with a plas-
tic bag after the engine has cooleddown.
2. Make sure that all caps and cov-ers as well as all electrical couplersand connectors, including thespark plug cap, are tightly installed.
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 and wheel
axles. Always rinse the dirt anddegreaser off with water.

SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGEAfter normal useRemove dirt with warm water, a milddetergent, and a soft, clean sponge, andthen rinse thoroughly with clean water.Use a toothbrush or bottlebrush forhard-to-reach areas. Stubborn dirt andinsects will come off more easily if thearea is covered with a wet cloth for afew minutes before cleaning.
After riding in the rain, near the sea oron salt-sprayed roadsSince sea salt or salt sprayed on theroads during winter are extremely cor-rosive in combination with water, carryout the following steps after each ridein the rain, near the sea or on salt-sprayed roads.
NOTE:Salt sprayed on roads in the winter mayremain well into spring.
1. Clean the scooter with cold waterand a mild detergent after the en-gine has cooled down.
ECA10790
cCDo not use warm water since it in-creases the corrosive action of thesalt.
2. Apply a corrosion protection sprayon all metal, including chrome- andnickel-plated, surfaces to preventcorrosion.
After cleaning1. Dry the scooter with a chamois or
an absorbing cloth.2. Use a chrome polish to shine
chrome, aluminum and stainless-steel parts, including the exhaustsystem. (Even the thermally in-duced discoloring of stainless-steelexhaust systems can be removedthrough polishing.)
3. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-mended to apply a corrosion pro-tection spray on all metal, includ-ing chrome- and nickel-plated, sur-faces.
4. Use spray oil as a universal cleanerto remove any remaining dirt.
5. Touch up minor paint damagecaused by stones, etc.
6. Wax all painted surfaces.7. Let the scooter dry completely be-
fore storing or covering it.EWA10940
w●●●●● Make sure that there is no oil or
wax on the brakes or tires. If nec-essary, clean the brake discsand brake linings with a regularbrake disc cleaner or acetone,and wash the tires with warmwater and a mild detergent.

ventilated room or covering itwith a tarp, while it is still wet,will allow water and humidity toseep in and cause rust.
●●●●● To prevent corrosion, avoiddamp cellars, stables (becauseof the presence of ammonia) andareas where strong chemicalsare stored.
Long-termBefore storing your scooter for severalmonths:
1. Follow all the instructions in the“Care” section of this chapter.
2. Drain the carburetor float chamberby loosening the drain bolt; this willprevent fuel deposits from buildingup. Pour the drained fuel into thefuel tank.
Storage<IXE>
3. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuelstabilizer (if available) to prevent thefuel tank from rusting and the fuelfrom deteriorating.
4. Perform the following steps to pro-tect the cylinder, piston rings, etc.from corrosion.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 placethe spark plug on the cylinderhead so that the electrodes aregrounded. (This will limit spark-ing during the next step.)
d. Turn the engine over severaltimes with the starter. (This willcoat the cylinder wall with oil.)
e. Remove the spark plug cap fromthe spark plug, and then installthe spark plug and the spark plugcap.

Keep your Yamaha protected even after your warranty expires with genuine Yamaha Extended Service (Y.E.S.).
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 foryou: 12 months, 24 months, 36 months or, on certain models, even 48 months beyond your warranty period.
Y.E.S. is designed and administered by the same Yamaha people who handle your warranty – and itshows 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 Yamahadealer to see how comforting uninterrupted factory-backed protection can be.
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.
In addition, Travel and Recreation Interruption Protection (TRIP) is included at no extra cost. TRIP gives you up to $150 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. coverage is honored at any authorized Yamaha dealer nationwide.
Y.E.S. coverage is transferable to a new owner if yousell 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.
