SCOOTERS ARE SINGLE TRACK VEHICLES. THEIR SAFE USE AND OPERATION ARE DEPENDENT UPON
1
THE USE OF PROPER RIDING TECHNIQUES AS WELL AS THE EXPERTISE OF THE OPERATOR. EVERY
2
OPERATOR SHOULD KNOW THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS BEFORE
3
RIDING THIS SCOOTER.
HE OR SHE SHOULD:
4
8 OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUC-
TIONS FROM A COMPETENT

9
SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OF
SCOOTER OPERATION.
OBSERVE THE WARNINGS AND
MAINTENANCE REQUIRE-
MENTS IN THE OWNER’S
MANUAL.
8 OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING IN
SAFE AND PROPER RIDING
TECHNIQUES.
8 OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECH-
NICAL SERVICE AS INDICATED
BY THE OWNER’S MANUAL AND/
OR WHEN MADE NECESSARY
BY MECHANICAL CONDITIONS.
EAU10240
Safe riding
8 Always make pre-operation checks.
Careful checks may help prevent
an accident.
8 This scooter is designed to carry
the operator only. No passengers.
8 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:
9 Wear a brightly colored jacket.
9 Use extra caution when ap-
proaching and passing through
intersections, since intersections are the most likely places
for scooter accidents to occur.
9 Ride where other motorists can
see you. Avoid riding in another
motorist’s blind spot.
1-1
8 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.
9 Make sure that you are quali-
fied and that you only lend your
scooter to other qualified
operators.
9 Know your skills and limits.
Staying within your limits may
help you to avoid an accident.
9 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.
8 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).
9 Always obey the speed limit
and never travel faster than
warranted by road and traffic
conditions.
QQ
Q SAFETY INFORMATION
QQ
9 Always signal before turning or
changing lanes. Make sure that
other motorists can see you.
8 The posture of the operator is im-
portant 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.
8 Never ride under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs.
8 This scooter is designed for on-road
use only. It is not suitable for offroad 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.
8 Always wear an approved helmet.
8 Wear a face shield or goggles. Wind
in your unprotected eyes could contribute to an impairment of vision
that could delay seeing a hazard.
8 The use of a jacket, substantial
shoes, trousers, gloves, etc., is
effective in preventing or reducing
abrasions or lacerations.
8 Never wear loose-fitting clothes,
otherwise they could catch on the
control levers or wheels and cause
injury or an accident.
8 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.
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 accessories to your scooter. Use extra care when
1-2
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, accessories and cargo must not exceed the
maximum load limit of 77 kg (170 lb).
When loading within this weight limit,
keep the following in mind:
8 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.
8 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.
8 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
1
all other accessories that may be available, you must personally be responsible
2
for the proper selection, installation and
use of non-Yamaha accessories. Use
extreme caution when selecting and in-
3
stalling any accessories.
Keep the following guidelines in mind,
4
as well as those provided under “Loading” when mounting accessories.
5
8 Never install accessories or carry
cargo that would impair the perfor-
6
7
8
9
mance of your scooter. Carefully
inspect the accessory before us-
ing it to make sure that it does not
in any way reduce ground clear-
ance or cornering clearance, limit
suspension travel, steering travel
or control operation, or obscure
lights or reflectors.
9 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.
9 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.
9 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.
8 Use caution when adding electrical
accessories. If electrical accessories exceed the capacity of the
scooter’s electrical system an elec-
tric failure could result, which could
cause a dangerous loss of lights or
engine power.
Gasoline and exhaust gas
8 GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAM-
MABLE:
9 Always turn the engine off
when refueling.
9 Take care not to spill any
gasoline on the engine or
exhaust system when refueling.
9 Never refuel while smoking or
in the vicinity of an open flame.
8 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.
8 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:
9 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.
9 Do not park the scooter on a
slope or soft ground, otherwise
it may fall over.
9 Do not park the scooter near a
flammable source (e.g., a
kerosene heater, or near an
open flame), otherwise it could
catch fire.
8 If you should swallow any gasoline,
inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or
allow gasoline to get in 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.
EAU10350
Further safe-riding points
8 Make sure to signal clearly when
making turns.
8 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.
8 Slow down as you approach a cor-
ner or turn. Once you have completed a turn, accelerate slowly.
8 Be careful when passing parked
cars. A driver might not see you and
open a door in your path.
8 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.
8 The brake lining could get wet when
you wash the scooter. After washing the scooter, check the brakes
before riding.
8 Always wear a helmet, gloves, trou-
sers (tapered around the cuff and
ankle so they do not flap), and a
bright colored jacket.
8 Do not carry too much luggage on
the scooter. An overloaded scooter
is unstable. Use a strong cord to
secure any luggage to the carriers.
A loose load will affect the stability
of the scooter and could divert your
attention from the road. (See page

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.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol containing ethanol and that containing methanol. Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if the ethanol content
does not exceed 10%. Gasohol containing methanol is not recommended by
Yamaha because it can cause damage
to the fuel system or vehicle performance problems.
