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

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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

● Do not run engine indoors. Even your scooter:

• Properly adjust the suspen-

sion for your load (suspension-

adjustable models only), and

check the condition and pres-

sure of your tires.

• Never attach any large or

heavy items to the handlebar,

front fork, or front fender. Such

items can create unstable

handling or a slow steering re-

sponse.

● Do not run engine in poorly ven-

tilated or partially enclosed areas

such as barns, garages, or car-

ports.

Maximum load:

85 kg (187 lb)

● 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.

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-

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-

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

Transporting the Scooter

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

There are two types of gasohol: gaso-

hol containing ethanol and that con-

taining methanol. Gasohol containing

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.

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-

mediately. NOTICE: Immedi-

ately wipe off spilled fuel with a

clean, dry, soft cloth, since fuel

may deteriorate painted sur-

faces or plastic parts.[ECA10071]

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.

500 ~ 1000 km (300 ~ 600 mi)

Avoid prolonged operation above

3/4 throttle. NOTICE: After 1000 km

(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.

ten minutes.

Vary the engine speed from time to

time. Do not operate the engine at one

set throttle position.

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.

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.

Tire air pressure

The tire air pressure should be

After extensive tests, only the tires

listed below have been approved for

this model by Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd.

Always check the tires before operat-

ing the scooter. If a tire tread shows

crosswise lines (minimum tread

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-

ing good, extend its life and optimize its

performance.

NOTICE

Some models are equipped with

matte colored ﬁnished parts. Be

sure to consult a Yamaha dealer for

advice on what products to use be-

fore cleaning the vehicle.

Using a brush, harsh chemical

products or cleaning compounds

when cleaning these parts will

scratch or damage their surface.

Wax also should not be applied to

any matte colored ﬁnished parts.

Cleaning

NOTICE

ECA10783

● Avoid using strong acidic

wheel cleaners, especially

on spoked wheels. If such

products are used on hard-to-

remove dirt, do not leave the

cleaner on the affected area

any longer than instructed.

Also, thoroughly rinse the area

off with water, immediately dry

it, and then apply a corrosion

protection spray.

● Improper cleaning can dam-

age plastic parts (such as

cowlings, panels, windshields,

headlight lenses, meter lenses,

etc.) and the mufﬂers. Use only

a soft, clean cloth or sponge

with water to clean plastic.

However, if the plastic parts

cannot be thoroughly cleaned

Before cleaning

1. Cover the mufﬂer outlet with a

plastic bag after the engine has

cooled down.

2. Make sure that all caps and cov-

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.
