sible for the safe and proper operation
of your scooter.
3
Scooters are single-track vehicles.
Their safe use and operation are dependent upon the use of proper riding
4
techniques as well as the expertise of
the operator. Every operator should
5
know the following requirements before
riding this scooter.
6
He or she should:
Obtain thorough instructions from
7
a competent source on all aspects
of scooter operation.
Observe the warnings and mainte-
8
nance requirements in this Owner’s Manual.
Obtain qualified training in safe
9
and proper riding techniques.
10
Obtain professional technical ser-
vice as indicated in this Owner’s
Manual and/or when made neces-
11
12
sary by mechanical conditions.
Never operate a scooter without
proper training or instruction. Take
a training course. Beginners
EAU1026B
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 4-1
for a list of pre-operation checks.
This scooter is designed to carry
the operator and a passenger.
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.
• Use extra caution when you are
1-1
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 practice riding your scooter where
Safety information
there is no traffic until you have
become thoroughly familiar with
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 and
passenger is important 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.
• The passenger should always
hold onto the operator, the seat
strap or grab bar, if equipped,
with both hands and keep both
feet on the passenger footrests.
Never carry a passenger unless
he or she can firmly place both
feet on the passenger footrests.
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.
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.
Never wear loose-fitting clothes,
otherwise they could catch on the
control levers or wheels and cause
1-2
injury or an accident.
Always wear protective clothing
that covers your legs, ankles, and
feet. The engine or exhaust system become very hot during or after operation and can cause burns.
A passenger should also observe
the above precautions.
Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headaches,
dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confusion, and eventually death.
Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas which may be present even if you do not see or smell any
engine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly and
you can quickly be overcome and unable to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of carbon monoxide can linger for
hours or days in enclosed or poorly
ventilated areas. If you experience any
symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the area immediately, get
fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT.

Safety information
Do not run engine indoors. Even if
1
you try to ventilate engine exhaust
with fans or open windows and
2
doors, carbon monoxide can rapidly reach dangerous levels.
Do not run engine in poorly venti-
3
lated or partially enclosed areas
such as barns, garages, or car-
4
5
ports.
Do not run engine outdoors where
engine exhaust can be drawn into
a building through openings such
6
as windows and doors.
Loading
7
Adding accessories or cargo to your
scooter can adversely affect stability
and handling if the weight distribution of
8
the scooter is changed. To avoid the
possibility of an accident, use extreme
9
caution when adding cargo or accessories to your scooter. Use extra care
10
when riding a scooter that has added
cargo or accessories. Here, along with
the information about accessories be-
11
low, are some general guidelines to follow if loading cargo to your scooter:
12
The total weight of the operator, passenger, accessories and cargo must
not exceed the maximum load limit.
Operation of an overloaded vehicle
could cause an accident.
Maximum load:
179 kg (395 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.
1-3
• 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.
Safety information
Aftermarket Parts, Accessories,
and Modifications
While you may find aftermarket products similar in design and quality to
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 aerodynamic changes. If accessories
are added to the handlebar or
front fork area, they must be as
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 acces-
1-4
sories 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.
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 6-18 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
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.
EAU57600
Further safe-riding points
Be 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 pads or linings 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
1-5
and ankle so they do not flap), and
a brightly 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 carrier
(if equipped). A loose load will affect the stability of the scooter and
could divert your attention from the
road. (See page 1-3.)

Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow
these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the engine and be sure that no one is sitting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vicinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters and
clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When
refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. 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.

Recommended fuel:
Regular unleaded gasoline only
Fuel tank capacity:
8.0 L (2.1 US gal, 1.8 Imp.gal)
ECA11401
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings,
as well as to the exhaust system.
Your Yamaha engine has been designed to use regular unleaded gasoline with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging) occurs, use a gasoline of a different brand
or premium unleaded fuel. Use of unleaded fuel will extend spark plug life
and reduce maintenance costs.

Catalytic converter
This model is equipped with a catalytic
converter in the exhaust system.
EWA10863
The exhaust system is hot after operation. To prevent a fire hazard or
burns:
Do not park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.
Park the vehicle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.
Make sure that the exhaust sys-
tem has cooled down before doing any maintenance work.
Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up of
heat.
ECA10702
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause unre-
pairable damage to the catalytic
converter.
