SAFETY INFORMATION

Be a Responsible Owner
1
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.
EAU1026A
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 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 con-
spicuous 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 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.
1-1
SAFETY INFORMATION
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 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 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.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing car-
1
bon 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.
Do not run engine indoors. Even if
you try to ventilate engine exhaust with fans or open windows and doors, carbon monoxide can rap­idly reach dangerous levels.
Do not run engine in poorly venti-
lated or partially enclosed areas such as barns, garages, or car­ports.
Do not run engine outdoors where
engine exhaust can be drawn into a building through openings such as windows and doors.
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, pas­senger, accessories and cargo must not exceed the maximum load limit.
Operation of an overloaded vehicle could cause an accident.
Maximum load:
185 kg (408 lb)
When loading within this weight limit, keep the following in mind:
1-3
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.
SAFETY INFORMATION
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 genuine Yamaha accessories, recog­nize that some aftermarket accessories or modifications are not suitable be­cause of potential safety hazards to you or others. Installing aftermarket prod-
ucts 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.
1-4
• 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 engine power.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Aftermarket Tires and Rims
The tires and rims that came with your scooter were designed to match the
1
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 6-17 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 tie­downs, if possible, so that the scooter will not bounce excessive­ly during transport.

EAU10373

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 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. 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.)

Immobilizer system

1. Code re-registering key (red bow)
2. Standard keys (black bow)
This vehicle is equipped with an immo­bilizer system to help prevent theft by re-registering codes in the standard keys. This system consists of the fol­lowing:
a code re-registering key (with a
red bow)
two standard keys (with a black
bow) that can be re-registered with new codes
a transponder (which is installed in
the code re-registering key)
an immobilizer unit
an ECU
an immobilizer system indicator
light (See page 3-3.) The key with the red bow is used to reg­ister codes in each standard key. Since re-registering is a difficult process, take the vehicle along with all three keys to a Yamaha dealer to have them re-reg­istered. Do not use the key with the red bow for driving. It should only be used for re-registering the standard keys. Al­ways use a standard key for driving.
DO NOT LOSE THE CODE RE-
REGISTERING KEY! CONTACT
YOUR DEALER IMMEDIATELY
IF IT IS LOST! If the code re-reg-
istering key is lost, registering
new codes in the standard keys
is impossible. The standard
keys can still be used to start
the vehicle, however if code re-
registering is required (i.e., if a
new standard key is made or all
keys are lost) the entire immobi-
lizer system must be replaced.
Therefore, it is highly recom-
mended to use either standard key and keep the code re-regis­tering key in a safe place.
Do not submerse any key in wa-
ter.
Do not expose any key to exces-
sively high temperatures.
Do not place any key close to
magnets (this includes, but not limited to, products such as speakers, etc.).
Do not place items that transmit
electrical signals close to any key.
Do not place heavy items on any
key.
Do not grind any key or alter its
shape.
Do not disassemble the plastic
part of any key.
Do not put two keys of any im-
mobilizer system on the same key ring.
Keep the standard keys as well
as keys of other immobilizer systems away from this vehi­cle’s code re-registering key.

hours have passed, the indicator light will stop flashing, however the immobi­lizer system is still enabled.
The self-diagnosis device also detects problems in the immobilizer system cir­cuits. If the immobilizer system is not working correctly, the indicator light will
3
start flashing a pattern when the key is turned to “ON”. When this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check the self-diag­nosis system. However, if the indicator light slowly flashes five times, and then quickly flashes two times repeatedly, this error could be caused by signal in­terference. If this occurs, try the follow­ing.
1. Use the code re-registering key to start the engine.
Make sure there are no other immobi­lizer keys close to the main switch, and do not keep more than one immobilizer key on the same key ring! Immobilizer system keys may cause signal interfer­ence, which may prevent the engine from starting.
2. If the engine starts, turn it off, and try starting the engine with the standard keys.
3. If one or both of the standard keys do not start the engine, take the vehicle, the code re-registering key and both standard keys to a Yamaha dealer and have the stan­dard keys re-registered.

Make sure that the fuel tank cap is properly closed after filling fuel. Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.

Fuel

Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in the tank.
EWA10881
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. 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.
