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

RIDING THIS SCOOTER.
HE OR SHE SHOULD:

EAU10261

Safe riding

8 Always make pre-operation checks.

Careful checks may help prevent
an accident.

8 This scooter is designed to carry

the operator and passenger.

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

EAU10220

9 Always signal before turning or

changing lanes. Make sure that
other motorists can see you.

8 The posture of the operator and

passenger is important for proper
control.
9 The operator should keep both

hands on the handlebar and
both feet on the footboard
during operation to maintain
control of the scooter.

9 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.

9 Never carry a passenger unless

he or she can firmly place both
feet on the passenger foot­rests.

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
which 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.

8 Passengers should also observe

the above precautions.

Modifications

Modifications made to this scooter not
approved by Yamaha, or the removal of

1-2

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:

177 kg (390 lb)

SAFETY INFORMATION

EAU10220

When loading within this weight limit,
keep the following in mind:

8 Cargo and accessory weight should

1

2

3

4

6

7

8

9

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
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.

8 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.
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

1-3

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 elec­tric 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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

EAU10220

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 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.

EAUT2030

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

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

research octane number of 91 or higher.
If knocking (or pinging) occurs, use a
gasoline of a different brand or premium

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS

The condition of a vehicle is the owner’s responsibility. Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly,

even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of exposure to the elements). Any damage, fluid leakage or loss
of tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a thorough visual
inspection, to check the following points before each ride.

NOTE:

Pre-operation checks should be made each time the vehicle is used. Such an inspection can be accomplished in a very
short time; and the added safety it assures is more than worth the time involved.

Since heat and deposits will cause any
spark plug to slowly erode, the spark
plug should be removed and checked

To check the spark plug

1. Check that the porcelain insulator
around the center electrode of the
spark plug is a medium-to-light tan
(the ideal color when the vehicle is
ridden normally).

NOTE:

If the spark plug shows a distinctly dif­ferent color, the engine could be oper­ating improperly. Do not attempt to di­agnose such problems yourself. In­stead, have a Yamaha dealer check the

should be tightened to the specified
torque as soon as possible.

Troubleshooting

Although Yamaha scooters receive a
thorough inspection before shipment
from the factory, trouble may occur dur­ing operation. Any problem in the fuel,
compression, or ignition systems, for
example, can cause poor starting and
loss of power.

The following troubleshooting charts
represent quick and easy procedures
for checking these vital systems your­self. However, should your scooter re­quire any repair, take it to a Yamaha
dealer, whose skilled technicians have
the necessary tools, experience, and
know-how to service the scooter prop­erly.

Use only genuine Yamaha replacement
parts. Imitation parts may look like
Yamaha parts, but they are often infe­rior, have a shorter service life and can
lead to expensive repair bills.

Care

While the open design of a scooter re­veals the attractiveness of the technol­ogy, it also makes it more vulnerable.
Rust and corrosion can develop even if
high-quality components are used. A
rusty exhaust pipe may go unnoticed
on a car, however, it detracts from the
overall appearance of a scooter. Fre­quent and proper care does not only
comply with the terms of the warranty,
but it will also keep your scooter look­ing good, extend its life and optimize its
performance.

Before cleaning

1. Cover the muffler outlet with a plas­tic bag after the engine has cooled
down.

2. Make sure that all caps and cov­ers as well as all electrical couplers
and connectors, including the
spark plug cap, are tightly installed.

3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt,
like oil burnt onto the crankcase,
with a degreasing agent and a
brush, but never apply such prod­ucts onto seals, gaskets and wheel

axles. Always rinse the dirt and
degreaser off with water.

the area off with water, immedi­ately dry it, and then apply a cor­rosion protection spray.

●●

● Improper cleaning can damage

●●

plastic parts such as cowlings,
panels, windshields, headlight
lenses, meter lenses, etc. Use
only a soft, clean cloth or sponge
with mild detergent and water to
clean plastic.

●●

● Do not use any harsh chemical

●●

products on plastic parts. Be
sure to avoid using cloths or
sponges which have been in
contact with strong or abrasive
cleaning products, solvent or

7-1

ECA10781

thinner, fuel (gasoline), rust re­movers or inhibitors, brake fluid,
antifreeze or electrolyte.

●●

● Do not use high-pressure wash-

●●

ers or steam-jet cleaners since
they cause water seepage and
deterioration in the following
areas: seals (of wheel and
swingarm bearings, fork and
brakes), electric components
(couplers, connectors, instru­ments, switches and lights),
breather hoses and vents.

●●

● For scooters equipped with a

●●

windshield: Do not use strong
cleaners or hard sponges as
they will cause dulling or
scratching. Some cleaning com­pounds for plastic may leave
scratches on the windshield.
Test the product on a small hid­den part of the windshield to
make sure that it does not leave
any marks. If the windshield is
scratched, use a quality plastic
polishing compound after wash­ing.

SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE

After normal use
Remove dirt with warm water, a mild
detergent, and a soft, clean sponge, and
then rinse thoroughly with clean water.

1

Use a toothbrush or bottlebrush for
hard-to-reach areas. Stubborn dirt and

2

insects will come off more easily if the
area is covered with a wet cloth for a
few minutes before cleaning.

3

After riding in the rain, near the sea or

4

on salt-sprayed roads
Since sea salt or salt sprayed on the

5

roads during winter are extremely cor­rosive in combination with water, carry
out the following steps after each ride

6

in the rain, near the sea or on salt­sprayed roads.

7

NOTE:

Salt sprayed on roads in the winter may

8

remain well into spring.

9

1. Clean the scooter with cold water
and a mild detergent after the en­gine has cooled down.

ECA10790

cC

Do not use warm water since it in­creases the corrosive action of the
salt.

2. Apply a corrosion protection spray
on all metal, including chrome- and
nickel-plated, surfaces to prevent
corrosion.

After cleaning

1. Dry the scooter with a chamois or
an absorbing cloth.

2. Use a chrome polish to shine
chrome, aluminum and stainless­steel parts, including the exhaust
system. (Even the thermally in­duced discoloring of stainless-steel
exhaust systems can be removed
through polishing.)

3. To prevent corrosion, it is recom­mended to apply a corrosion pro­tection spray on all metal, includ­ing chrome- and nickel-plated, sur­faces.

4. Use spray oil as a universal cleaner
to remove any remaining dirt.

7-2

5. Touch up minor paint damage
caused by stones, etc.

6. Wax all painted surfaces.

7. Let the scooter dry completely be­fore storing or covering it.

wax on the brakes or tires. If nec­essary, clean the brake discs
and brake linings with a regular
brake disc cleaner or acetone,
and wash the tires with warm
water and a mild detergent.

●●

● Before operating the scooter

●●

test its braking performance and
cornering behavior.

Storage

Short-term

Always store your scooter in a cool, dry
place and, if necessary, protect it
against dust with a porous cover.

ECA10820

cC

●●

● Storing the scooter in a poorly

●●

ventilated room or covering it
with a tarp, while it is still wet,
will allow water and humidity to
seep in and cause rust.

●●

● To prevent corrosion, avoid

●●

damp cellars, stables (because
of the presence of ammonia) and
areas where strong chemicals
are stored.

Long-term

Before storing your scooter for several
months:

1. Follow all the instructions in the
“Care” section of this chapter.

2. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel
stabilizer (if available) to prevent the
fuel tank from rusting and the fuel
from deteriorating.

3. Perform the following steps to pro­tect the cylinder, piston rings, etc.
from corrosion.
a. Remove the spark plug cap and

spark plug.

b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil

into the spark plug bore.

c. Install the spark plug cap onto

the spark plug, and then place
the spark plug on the cylinder
head so that the electrodes are
grounded. (This will limit spark­ing during the next step.)

d.Turn the engine over several

times with the starter. (This will
coat the cylinder wall with oil.)

e. Remove the spark plug cap from

the spark plug, and then install
the spark plug and the spark plug
cap.

EWA10950

w

To prevent damage or injury from
sparking, make sure to ground the
spark plug electrodes while turning
the engine over.

centerstand.

5. Check and, if necessary, correct
the tire air pressure, and then lift
the scooter so that both of its
wheels are off the ground. Alterna­tively, turn the wheels a little every
month in order to prevent the tires
from becoming degraded in one
spot.

6. Cover the muffler outlet with a plas­tic bag to prevent moisture from en­tering it.

7. Remove the battery and fully
charge it. Store it in a cool, dry
place and charge it once a month.
Do not store the battery in an ex­cessively cold or warm place [less
than 0 °C (30 °F) or more than 30
°C (90 °F)]. For more information
on storing the battery, see page 6-

20.

NOTE:

Make any necessary repairs before
storing the scooter.
