GIVE SAFETY THE RIGHT OF WAY
Scooters are fascinating vehicles, which can give you an unsurpassed feeling of power and freedom. However,
they also impose certain limits, which you must accept; even the best scooter does not ignore the laws of
1
physics.
Regular care and maintenance are essential for preserving value and operating condition of your scooter.
Moreover, what is true for the scooter is also true for the rider: good performance depends on being in good
shape. Riding under the influence of medication, drugs and alcohol is, of course, out of the question. Scooter
riders — more than car drivers — must always be at their mental and physical best. Under the influence of
even small amounts of alcohol, there is a tendency to take dangerous risks.
Protective clothing is as essential for the scooter rider as seat belts are for car drivers and passengers.
Always wear a complete scooter suit (whether made of leather or tear-resistant synthetic materials with
protectors), sturdy boots, scooter gloves and a properly fitting helmet. Optimum protective wear, however,
should not encourage carelessness. Although full-coverage helmets and suits, in particular, create an illusion of total safety and protection, motorcyclists will always be vulnerable. Riders who lack critical selfcontrol run the risk of going too fast and are apt to take chances. This is even more dangerous in wet
weather. The good motorcyclist rides safely, predictably and defensively — avoiding all dangers, including
those caused by others.
Enjoy your ride!

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 scooter is unstable.

Recommended fuel:
REGULAR UNLEADED
GASOLINE ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
Total amount:
6.5 L
Your Yamaha engine has been
designed to use regular unleaded
gasoline with 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.
EWA00008
Since gasoline is flammable, the
following precautions must be
observed.
Stop the engine before
•
refueling.
Never attempt to refuel the
•
scooter while smoking or near
an open flame.
Take special care not to spill
•
gasoline over the engine or
muffler when refueling
immediately after operation.
Before starting the engine,
•
quickly wipe off any gasoline
spilled on the engine or muffler.

The use of leaded gasoline will
cause unrepairable damage to
the catalytic converter.
Never park the scooter near
