SAFETY INFORMATION

SCOOTERS ARE SINGLE TRACK
VEHICLES. THEIR SAFE USE AND

1

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 INSTRUC-

TIONS FROM A COMPETENT
SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OF
SCOOTER OPERATION.

● OBSERVE THE WARNINGS AND

MAINTENANCE REQUIRE­MENTS IN THE OWNER’S
MANUAL.

● 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 NECES­SARY BY MECHANICAL CONDI­TIONS.

EAU10260

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
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:

• Wear a brightly colored jacket.

• Use extra caution when 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.

● Many accidents involve inexpe-

rienced operators. In fact, many
operators who have been invol-

1-1

ved 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 cau-

sed 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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

t

● 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 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 hel-

met.

● 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
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.

● 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.

● Passengers should also observe

the above precautions.

1-2

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 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:

1

t

SAFETY INFORMATION

Loading
The total weight of the operator, pas­senger, accessories and cargo must

1

not exceed the maximum load limit of
189 Kg - 416.75 lb. 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

sudden imbalance. Make sure
that accessories 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
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.

● 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

1-3

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.

• 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

SAFETY INFORMATION

t

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.

• Take care not to spill any gaso­line 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 poi­sonous and may cause loss of
consciousness and death within
a short time. Always operate your
scooter in an area that has ade­quate 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 pedestrians 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 kero­sene heater, or near an open
flame), otherwise it could catch
fire.

● If you should swallow any gasoli-

ne, 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.

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

1-4

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.

Immobilizer system

1. Master key

2. Keys

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.

ECA11820

CAUTION:

● DO NOT LOSE THE CODE RE-

REGISTERING KEY! CONTACT

YOUR DEALER IMMEDIATELY IF

IT IS LOST! If the code re-regis-

tering key is lost, registering new

codes in the standard keys is

impossible. The standard keys

can still be used to start the vehi-

cle, however if code re-registe-

ring is required (i.e., if a new

standard key is made or all keys

are lost) the entire immobilizer

system must be replaced. There-

fore, it is highly recommended to

use either standard key and

keep the code re-registering
key in a safe place.

● Do not submerse any key in

water.

● Do not expose any key to

excessively high temperatures.

● Do not place any key close to

magnets (this includes, but not
limited to, products such as
speakers, etc.).

● 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

immobilizer 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.

● Keep other immobilizer system

keys away from the main
switch as they may cause sig­nal interference.

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS

EAU15591

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

4

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.

read the following material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts
in the engine wear and polish them­selves to the correct operating clea­rances. During this period, prolonged

full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overhea­ting must be avoided.

Since heat and deposits will cause
any spark plug to slowly erode, the
spark plug should be removed and
checked in accordance with the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. In addition, the condition of the

To check the spark plug

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

NOTE:

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

Checking the brake fluid
level

Insufficient brake fluid may allow air
to enter the brake system, possibly
causing it to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake
fluid is above the minimum level mark
and replenish if necessary. A low bra­ke fluid level may indicate worn brake
pads and/or brake system leakage. If
the brake fluid level is low, be sure to
check the brake pads for wear and
the brake system for leakage.
Observe these precautions:

● When checking the fluid level,

make sure that the top of the bra­ke fluid reservoir is level.

● Use only the recommended qua-

lity brake fluid, otherwise the rub­ber seals may deteriorate, cau­sing leakage and poor braking
performance.

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

● After removing the radiator cap retaining bolt, place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then

slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the his­sing sound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.

NOTE:

If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended
coolant as soon as possible.

SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE

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

7

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 pro-

EAU26090

ducts onto seals, gaskets and
wheel axles. Always rinse the dirt
and degreaser off with water.

Cleaning

CAUTION:

● Avoid using strong acidic whe-

el cleaners, especially on spo­ked wheels. If such products
are used on hard-to-remove
dirt, do not leave the cleaner on
the affected area any longer
than instructed. Also, tho­roughly rinse the area off with
water, immediately dry it, and
then apply a corrosion protec­tion spray.

● Improper cleaning can damage

windshields, cowlings, panels
and other plastic parts. 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

ECA10780

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

● Do not use high-pressure was-

hers 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. Use a toothbrush or bottle­brush for hard-to-reach areas. Stub­born dirt and insects will come off
more easily if the area is covered with
a wet cloth for a few minutes before
cleaning.
After riding in the rain, near the sea or
on salt-sprayed roads
Since sea salt or salt sprayed on the
roads during winter are extremely
corrosive in combination with water,
carry out the following steps after
each ride in the rain, near the sea or
on salt-sprayed roads.

NOTE:

Salt sprayed on roads in the winter
may remain well into spring.

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

ECA10790

CAUTION:

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.

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.

ss

WARNING

● Make sure that there is no oil or

EWA10940

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.

ECA10800

CAUTION:

● Apply spray oil and wax spa-

ringly and make sure to wipe
off any excess.

● Never apply oil or wax to any

rubber and plastic parts, but
treat them with a suitable care
product.

● Avoid using abrasive polishing

compounds as they will wear
away the paint.

Storage

Short-term

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

CAUTION:

● 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. Drain the carburetor float cham­ber by loosening the drain bolt;
this will prevent fuel deposits
from building up. Pour the drai­ned fuel into the fuel tank.

ECA10820

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

4. 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.

WARNING

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

5. Lubricate all control cables and
the pivoting points of all levers
and pedals as well as of the
sidestand/centerstand.

6. 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.

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

8. 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 6-22.

NOTE:

Make any necessary repairs before
storing the scooter.
