SAFETY INFORMATION

EAU10261

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 OPERA-

TOR. EVERY OPERATOR SHOULD

KNOW THE FOLLOWING REQUIRE-

MENTS 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 OWNER’S MAN-

UAL.

●

OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING

IN SAFE AND PROPER RIDING

TECHNIQUES.

●

OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECH-

NICAL SERVICE AS INDICATED

BY THE OWNER’S MANUAL

AND/OR WHEN MADE NECES-

SARY BY MECHANICAL CONDI-

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 auto-

mobile/scooter accidents. Many

accidents have been caused by an

automobile driver who did not see

the scooter. Making yourself con-

spicuous appears to be very effec-

tive in reducing the chance of this

type of accident.

●

Therefore:

●

Wear a brightly colored jacket.

●

Use extra caution when ap-

proaching and passing through

intersections, since intersec-

tions 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.

●

Many accidents involve inexperi-

enced operators. In fact, many op-

erators who have been involved in

accidents do not even have a cur-

rent driver’s license.

●

Make sure that you are qualified

and that you only lend your

scooter to other qualified opera-

tors.

●

Know your skills and limits.

Staying within your limits may

help you to avoid an accident.

●

We recommend that you prac-

tice riding your scooter where

there is no traffic until you have

become thoroughly familiar with

the scooter and all of its con-

trols.

●

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 undercor-

nering (insufficient lean angle for

the speed).

●

Always obey the speed limit and

never travel faster than warrant-

ed by road and traffic conditions.

SAFETY INFORMATION

1-2

1

●

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 preven-

tion 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 ef-

fective 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 protec-

tive clothing that covers your legs,

ankles, and feet.

●

Passengers should also observe

the above precautions.

Modifications

Modifications made to this scooter not

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 accesso-

ries 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, pas-

senger, accessories and cargo must

not exceed the maximum load limit.

Maximum load:

196 kg (432 lb)

SAFETY INFORMATION

1-3

1

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. 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 avail-

able, you must personally be responsi-

ble 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 “Load-

ing” when mounting accessories.

●

Never install accessories or carry

cargo that would impair the perfor-

mance 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 sus-

pension travel, steering travel or

control operation, or obscure lights

or reflectors.

●

Accessories fitted to the handle-

bar or the front fork area can

create instability due to improper

weight distribution or aerody-

namic 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 dis-

place the operator from his or

her normal riding position. This

improper position limits the free-

dom of movement of the opera-

tor and may limit control ability,

therefore, such accessories are

not recommended.

●

Use caution when adding electri-

cal accessories. If electrical acces-

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.

Gasoline and exhaust gas

●

GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMA-

BLE:

●

Always turn the engine off when

refueling.

SAFETY INFORMATION

1-4

1

●

Take care not to spill any gaso-

line 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 poi-

sonous and may cause loss of

consciousness and death within a

short time. Always operate your

scooter in an area that has ade-

quate 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 pedes-

trians 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 gaso-

line, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor,

or allow gasoline to get into your

eyes, see your doctor immediate-

ly. If any gasoline spills on your

skin or clothing, immediately wash

the affected area with soap and

water and change your clothes.

EAU10371

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 com-

pleted 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 be-

come extremely slippery when

wet. Slow down and cross them

with caution. Keep the scooter up-

right, 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-

er is unstable.

Fuel

Make sure that there is sufficient fuel in

the tank. Fill the fuel tank to the bottom

of the filler tube as shown.

WARNING

EWA10880

●

Do not overfill the fuel tank, oth-

erwise it may overflow when the

fuel warms up and expands.

●

Avoid spilling fuel on the hot en-

gine.

CAUTION:

ECA10070

Immediately wipe off spilled fuel

with a clean, dry, soft cloth, since

fuel may deteriorate painted surfac-

es or plastic parts.

EAU36080

CAUTION:

ECA11400

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 de-

signed to use regular unleaded gaso-

line 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 premi-

um unleaded fuel. Use of unleaded fuel

will extend spark plug life and reduce

maintenance costs.

Gasohol

There are two types of gasohol: gaso-

hol containing ethanol and that contain-

ing methanol. Gasohol containing

ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-

tent does not exceed 10%. Gasohol

containing methanol is not recom-

mended by Yamaha because it can

cause damage to the fuel system or ve-

hicle performance problems.
