SAFETY INFORMATION

SCOOTERS ARE SINGLE TRACK VEHICLES. THEIR SAFE USE AND OPERATION ARE DEPENDENT
1
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 INSTRUC-
TIONS FROM A COMPETENT
SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OF
SCOOTER OPERATION.
OBSERVE THE WARNINGS
AND MAINTENANCE REQUIRE-
MENTS IN THE OWNERS MAN-
UAL.

EAU10261
TIONS.
Safe riding
Always make pre-operation checks. Careful checks may help prevent an accident.
This scooter is designed to carry the operator and 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 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 motorists blind spot.
1-1
Many accidents involve inexperi­enced operators. In fact, many op­erators who have been involved in accidents do not even have a cur­rent drivers 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 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 footboard 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 inju-
ries. 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 which 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 injury or an accident.
Never touch the engine or exhaust system during or after operation. They become very hot and can cause burns. Always wear protec­tive clothing that covers your legs, ankles, and feet.
Passengers should also observe the above precautions.
Modifications
Modifications made to this scooter not
SAFETY INFORMATION
approved by Yamaha, or the removal of original equipment, may render the scooter unsafe for use and may cause severe personal injury. Modifications may also make your scooter illegal to use.
Loading and 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 extreme caution when adding cargo or accesso­ries to your scooter. Use extra care when riding a scooter that has added cargo or accessories. Here are some general guidelines to follow if loading cargo or adding accessories to your scooter:
Loading The total weight of the operator, pas­senger, accessories and cargo must not exceed the maximum load limit.
Maximum load:
196 kg (432 lb)
1
1-2
SAFETY INFORMATION
When loading within this weight limit, keep the following in mind:
Cargo and accessory weight
should be kept as low and close to
1
the scooter as possible. 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 ac-
cessories and cargo are securely
attached to the scooter before
riding. Check accessory mounts
and cargo restraints frequently.
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.
Accessories Genuine Yamaha accessories have been specifically designed for use on this scooter. Since Yamaha cannot test all other accessories that may be avail­able, you must personally be responsi­ble for the proper selection, installation
and use of non-Yamaha accessories. Use extreme caution when selecting and installing any accessories. 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 electri­cal accessories. If electrical acces­sories exceed the capacity of the scooters electrical system an electric failure could result, which could cause a dangerous loss of lights or engine power.
Gasoline and exhaust gas
GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMA­BLE:
Always turn the engine off when refueling.
1-3
SAFETY INFORMATION
Take care not to spill any gaso­line on the engine or exhaust system when refueling.
Never refuel while smoking or in the vicinity of an open flame.
Never start the engine or let it run for any length of time in a closed area. The exhaust fumes are poi­sonous and may cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time. Always operate your scooter in an area that has ade­quate ventilation.
Always turn the engine off before leaving the scooter unattended and remove the key from the main switch. When parking the scooter, note the following:
The engine and exhaust system may be hot, therefore, park the scooter in a place where pedes­trians or children are not likely to touch these hot areas.
Do not park the scooter on a slope or soft ground, otherwise it may fall over.
Do not park the scooter near a flammable source (e.g., a kero-
sene heater, or near an open flame), otherwise it could catch fire.
If you should swallow any gaso­line, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or allow gasoline to get into your eyes, see your doctor immediate­ly. If any gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash the affected area with soap and water and change your clothes.
1-4
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 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 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 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 scoot-

UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
14.0 L (3.70 US gal) (3.08 Imp.gal)
ECA11400
CAUTION:
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 pump octane number [(R+M)/2] of 86 or higher, or a research octane number of 91 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.
