Be a Responsible Owner
As the vehicle’s owner, you are respon­sible for the safe and proper operation of your scooter. Scooters are single-track vehicles. Their safe use and operation are de­pendent upon the use of proper riding techniques as well as the expertise of the operator. Every operator should know the following requirements before riding this scooter. He or she should:
Obtain thorough instructions from
a competent source on all aspects of scooter operation.
Observe the warnings and mainte-
nance requirements in this Own­er’s Manual.
Obtain qualified training in safe
and proper riding techniques.
Obtain professional technical ser-
vice as indicated in this Owner’s Manual and/or when made neces­sary by mechanical conditions.
Never operate a scooter without
proper training or instruction. Take
a training course. Beginners should receive training from a cer­tified instructor. Contact an autho­rized scooter dealer to find out about the training courses nearest you.
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 vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident or equipment damage. See page 5-1 for a list of pre-operation checks.
This scooter is designed to carry
the operator only. No passengers.
The failure of motorists to detect
and recognize scooters in traffic is the predominating cause of auto­mobile/scooter accidents. Many accidents have been caused by an automobile driver who did not see the scooter. Making yourself con­spicuous appears to be very effec­tive in reducing the chance of this type of accident.
Therefore:
• Wear a brightly colored jacket.
1-1
• Use extra caution when you are approaching and passing through intersections, since in­tersections 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 with­out proper knowledge. Contact an authorized scooter dealer to inform you on basic scooter maintenance. Certain mainte­nance can only be carried out by certified staff.
Many accidents involve inexperi-
enced operators. In fact, many op­erators who have been involved in accidents do not even have a cur­rent driver’s license.
• Make sure that you are qualified and that you only lend your scooter to other qualified opera­tors.
• Know your skills and limits. Staying within your limits may help you to avoid an accident.
• We recommend that you prac-
1
SAFETY INFORMATION
tice riding your scooter where there is no traffic until you have become thoroughly familiar with
1
the scooter and all of its con­trols.
Many accidents have been caused
by error of the scooter operator. A typical error made by the operator is veering wide on a turn due to ex­cessive speed or undercornering (insufficient lean angle for the speed).
• Always obey the speed limit and never travel faster than warrant­ed by road and traffic conditions.
• Always signal before turning or changing lanes. Make sure that other motorists can see you.
The posture of the operator is im-
portant for proper control. The op­erator should keep both hands on the handlebar and both feet on the operator footrests during operation to maintain control of the scooter.
Do not place magnets or objects
with a strong magnetic force near the accelerator grip. In addition, do not place objects susceptible to magnetic forces (i.e., credit cards,
watches, etc.) close to the acceler­ator grip.
Never ride under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs.
This scooter is designed for
on-road use only. It is not suitable for off-road use.
Avoid submerged roads
Do not ride on flooded roads. Water could cause power unit failure, electric leakage, and/or short-circuiting.
Protective Apparel
The majority of fatalities from scooter accidents are the result of head inju­ries. The use of a safety helmet is the single most critical factor in the preven­tion or reduction of head injuries.
Always wear an approved helmet.Wear a face shield or goggles.
Wind in your unprotected eyes could contribute to an impairment of vision that could delay seeing a hazard.
The use of a jacket, substantial
shoes, trousers, gloves, etc., is ef­fective in preventing or reducing abrasions or lacerations.
1-2
Never wear loose-fitting clothes,
otherwise they could catch on the control levers or wheels and cause injury or an accident.
Always wear protective clothing
that covers your legs, ankles, and feet. The power unit become hot during or after operation and can cause burns.
Loading
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 extreme 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 accessories be­low, are some general guidelines to fol­low if loading cargo to your scooter: The total weight of the operator, acces­sories and cargo must not exceed the maximum load limit. Operation of an
overloaded vehicle could cause an accident.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Maximum load:
87 kg (192 lb)
When loading within this weight limit, keep the following in mind:
Cargo and accessory weight
should be kept as low and close to the scooter as possible. Securely pack your heaviest items as close to the center of the vehicle 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 sud-
den imbalance. Make sure that ac­cessories and cargo are securely attached to the scooter before riding. Check accessory mounts and cargo restraints frequently.
• Properly adjust the suspension for your load (suspension-ad­justable models only), and check the condition and pres­sure 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 response.
This vehicle is not designed to
pull a trailer or to be attached to a sidecar.
Genuine Yamaha Accessories
Choosing accessories for your vehicle is an important decision. Genuine Yamaha accessories, which are avail­able only from a Yamaha dealer, have been designed, tested, and approved by Yamaha for use on your vehicle. Many companies with no connection to Yamaha manufacture parts and acces­sories or offer other modifications for Yamaha vehicles. Yamaha is not in a position to test the products that these aftermarket companies produce. Therefore, Yamaha can neither en­dorse nor recommend the use of ac­cessories not sold by Yamaha or modifications not specifically recom­mended by Yamaha, even if sold and installed by a Yamaha dealer.
Aftermarket Parts, Accessories, and Modifications
While you may find aftermarket prod­ucts similar in design and quality to
1-3
genuine Yamaha accessories, recog­nize that some aftermarket accessories 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 operation characteristics can put you and others at greater risk of serious injury or death. You are responsible for injuries related to changes in the vehicle. Keep the following guidelines in mind, as well as those provided under “Load­ing” when mounting accessories.
Never install accessories or carry
cargo that would impair the perfor­mance of your scooter. Carefully inspect the accessory before using it to make sure that it does not in any way reduce ground clearance or cornering clearance, limit sus­pension travel, steering travel or control operation, or obscure lights or reflectors.
• Accessories fitted to the handle­bar or the front fork area can create instability due to improper weight distribution or aerody-
1
SAFETY INFORMATION
namic changes. If accessories are added to the handlebar or front fork area, they must be as
1
lightweight as possible and should be kept to a minimum.
• Bulky or large accessories may seriously affect the stability of the scooter due to aerodynamic effects. Wind may attempt to lift the scooter, or the scooter may become unstable in cross winds. These accessories may also cause instability when passing or being passed by large vehicles.
• Certain accessories can dis­place the operator from his or her normal riding position. This improper position limits the free­dom of movement of the opera­tor and may limit control ability, therefore, such accessories are not recommended.
Use caution when adding electri-
cal accessories. If electrical acces­sories exceed the capacity of the scooter’s electrical system, an electric failure could result, which could cause a dangerous loss of
lights or motor power.
Aftermarket Tires and Rims
The tires and rims that came with your scooter were designed to match the performance capabilities and to provide the best combination of handling, brak­ing, and comfort. Other tires, rims, siz­es, and combinations may not be appropriate. Refer to page 8-5 for tire specifications and more information on replacing your tires.
Transporting the Scooter
Be sure to observe following instruc­tions 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 pre­vent movement.
Secure the scooter with tie-downs
or suitable straps that are attached to solid parts of the scooter, such as the frame or upper front fork tri­ple clamp (and not, for example, to rubber-mounted handlebars or
1-4
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 excessive­ly during transport.
SAFETY INFORMATION
EAUT2031

Further safe-riding points

Make sure to signal clearly when
making turns.
Braking can be extremely difficult
on a wet road. Avoid hard braking, because the scooter could slide. Apply the brakes slowly when stopping on a wet surface.
Slow down as you approach a cor-
ner 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 construction sites, and manhole covers be­come extremely slippery when wet. Slow down and cross them with caution. Keep the scooter up­right, otherwise it could slide out from under you.
The brake lining could get wet
when you wash the scooter. After washing the scooter, check the brakes before riding.
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.

Charging the battery safely

Do not charge the battery in areas
potentially exposed to rain or wa­ter. This could cause an electric shock or short circuit.
Be sure to plug the charging plug
only directly to a grounded electri­cal outlet with residual-current de­vice (RCD) protection to charge the battery. If incorrectly grounded, this could cause an electric shock or short circuit.
If the vehicle is damaged due to
overturning or accident, do not plug in the charging plug to an out­let. This could cause an electric shock or short circuit. Have your vehicle checked by a Yamaha
1

Traveling distance

The distance that can be traveled on a single charge varies according to the riding and road conditions. These conditions include the number of starts and stops, vehicle load, the steepness of slopes, road conditions, wind direction and velocity, ambient temperature, charging status, de­creased battery performance, and low tire air pressure.
Distance traveled on a single charge
The data in the following chart was measured at Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. It was measured when traveling with a new battery at an ambient temperature and vehicle load (total weight of rider and luggage) as shown below on a dry road surface in the absence of wind.
The maximum slope ascending capac­ity is a gradient of approximately 16% (about 9 degrees).
Because of the battery character,
the riding distance might be re-

Effective use of the battery

If the battery is left nearly fully charged (4–5 segments shown on the battery charge indicator) and exposed to high temperature for an extended period, it will rapidly deplete. To extend the bat­tery life, handle as follows:
Choose a cool place with no direct
sunlight when charging the bat­tery.
Do not store the battery with a
charge less than 20% (below the last segment of the battery level in­dicator) for an extended period of time.
Choose a cool and well-ventilated
place without direct sunlight for storing the vehicle.
When not used for a long period of
time, charge the battery until the 2–3 segments of the battery charge indicator are shown and then store the vehicle in a cool place (optimum temperature 15 C – 25 C). Check the battery level while the vehicle is in storage. If the battery level drops to the last segment, recharge the battery until
