Be a Responsible Owner

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.

EAU1026B

 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

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 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.

1-2

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

1

All engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing
carbon 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:

YP125R 185 kg (408 lb)
YP125RA 181 kg (399 lb)

1-3

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. 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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

 This vehicle is not designed to

pull a trailer or to be attached to
a sidecar.

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, recog-

nize that some aftermarket accesso­ries or modifications are not suitable
because of potential safety hazards to
you or others. Installing aftermarket
products 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

1-4

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, an
electric failure could result, which
could cause a dangerous loss of
lights or engine power.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Aftermarket Tires and Rims

1

The tires and rims that came with your
scooter were designed to match the
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 6-18 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 lo-

cation 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.

1-5

EAU57600

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 or linings could

get wet when you wash the scoot­er. After washing the scooter,
check the brakes before riding.

SAFETY INFORMATION

 Always wear a helmet, gloves,

trousers (tapered around the cuff
and ankle so they do not flap), and
a brightly 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 3-5.)
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.

ECA11822

 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-regis-
tering 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.

ABS (for ABS models)

The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con­trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake levers. In this situa­tion, continue to apply the brakes and
let the ABS work; do not “pump” the
brakes as this will reduce braking ef­fectiveness.

Always keep a sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed even with ABS.

 The ABS performs best with

long braking distances.

 On certain surfaces, such as

rough or gravel roads, the brak-

ing distance may be longer with

the ABS than without.

The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
which will revert the system to conven­tional braking if a malfunction occurs.

EWA16051

 The ABS performs a self-diagno-

sis test each time the vehicle first
starts off after the key is turned to
“ON” and the vehicle has traveled
at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or
higher. During this test, a “click­ing” noise can be heard from the
front of the vehicle, and if either
brake lever is even slightly ap­plied, a vibration can be felt at the
lever, but these do not indicate a
malfunction.

 This ABS has a test mode which

allows the owner to experience
the pulsation at the brake levers
when the ABS is operating. How­ever, special tools are required, so
please consult your Yamaha deal­er when performing this test.

ECA16121

Keep any type of magnets (including
magnetic pick-up tools, magnetic
screwdrivers, etc.) away from the
front and rear wheel hubs, otherwise
the magnetic rotors equipped in the

sulting in improper performance of

2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When
refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine or

ECA11401

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 premium unleaded gas­oline with a research octane number of

Sidestand

1. Sidestand switch

The sidestand is located on the left
side of the frame. Raise the sidestand
or lower it with your foot while holding
the vehicle upright.

The built-in sidestand switch is part of
the ignition circuit cut-off system,
which cuts the ignition in certain situa­tions. (See the following section for an
explanation of the ignition circuit cut­off system.)

EWA10242

The vehicle must not be ridden with
the sidestand down, or if the side-
stand cannot be properly moved up
(or does not stay up), otherwise the
sidestand could contact the ground
and distract the operator, resulting
in a possible loss of control.
Yamaha’s ignition circuit cut-off
system has been designed to assist
the operator in fulfilling the respon­sibility of raising the sidestand be-
fore starting off. Therefore, check
this system regularly and have a
Yamaha dealer repair it if it does not
function properly.

Ignition circuit cut-off system

The ignition circuit cut-off system
(comprising the sidestand switch and
brake light switches) has the following
functions.

 It prevents starting when the side-

stand is up, but neither brake is
applied.

 It prevents starting when either

brake is applied, but the sidestand
is still down.

 It cuts the running engine when

the sidestand is moved down.
Periodically check the operation of the
ignition circuit cut-off system accord­ing to the following procedure.

Engine break-in

There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1000 km (600 mi). For
this reason, you should read the fol­lowing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1000 km (600 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.

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).

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 vehicle.

2. Check the spark plug for electrode
erosion and excessive carbon or
other deposits, and replace it if
necessary.

Specified spark plug:

NGK/CPR9EA-9

3. Measure the spark plug gap with a
wire thickness gauge and, if nec­essary, adjust the gap to specifi­cation.

1. Spark plug gap

Spark plug gap:

0.8–0.9 mm (0.031–0.035 in)

To install the spark plug

1. Clean the surface of the spark
plug gasket and its mating sur­face, and then wipe off any grime
from the spark plug threads.

2. Install the spark plug with the
spark plug wrench, and then tight­en it to the specified torque.

Tightening torque:

Spark plug:

12.5 Nm (1.25 m·kgf, 9.04 ft·lbf)

If a torque wrench is not available
when installing a spark plug, a good
estimate of the correct torque is 1/4–
1/2 turn past finger tight. However, the
spark plug should be tightened to the
specified torque as soon as possible.

 The replacement of all wheel

and brake-related parts, includ-
ing the tires, should be left to a

Yamaha dealer, who has the

necessary professional knowl­edge and experience to do so.

 Ride at moderate speeds after

changing a tire since the tire

a Yamaha dealer replace the
wheel. Do not attempt even the
smallest repair to the wheel. A de­formed or cracked wheel must be
replaced.

 The wheel should be balanced

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.

Matte color caution

ECA15193

Some models are equipped with
matte colored finished parts. Be
sure to consult a Yamaha dealer for
advice on what products to use be­fore cleaning the vehicle. Using a
brush, harsh chemical products or
cleaning compounds when cleaning
these parts will scratch or damage
their surface. Wax also should not
be applied to any matte colored fin­ished parts.

EAU26096

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 prod-

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

Cleaning

ECA10784

 Avoid using strong acidic wheel

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, immedi-
ately dry it, and then apply a cor-
rosion protection spray.

 Improper cleaning can damage

plastic parts (such as cowlings,
panels, windshields, headlight
lenses, meter lenses, etc.) and
the mufflers. Use only a soft,
clean cloth or sponge with wa­ter to clean plastic. However, if
the plastic parts cannot be thor­oughly cleaned with water, di-
luted mild detergent with water
may be used. Be sure to rinse

7

7-1

SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE

TIP

off any detergent residue using
plenty of water, as it is harmful
to plastic parts.

 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
thinner, fuel (gasoline), rust re-
movers or inhibitors, brake fluid,
antifreeze or electrolyte.

 Do not use high-pressure wash-

ers or steam-jet cleaners since
they cause water seepage and

7

deterioration in the following ar­eas: seals (of wheel and swing-
arm 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
scratching. Some cleaning
compounds for plastic may
leave scratches on the wind-

or

shield. Test the product on a
small hidden part of the wind-
shield to make sure that it does
not leave any marks. If the wind-
shield is scratched, use a quality
plastic polishing compound af­ter washing.

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 salt­sprayed roads.

7-2

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. NOTICE:

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

[ECA10792]

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

Cleaning the windshield
Avoid using any alkaline or strong acid
cleaner, gasoline, brake fluid, or any
other solvent. Clean the windshield
with a cloth or sponge dampened with
a mild detergent, and then wash it off
thoroughly with water. For additional
cleaning, use Yamaha Windshield
Cleaner or another high-quality wind­shield cleaner. Some cleaning com­pounds for plastics may leave
scratches on the windshield. Before
using such cleaners, test an area of the

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 stainless­steel 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.

EWA10943

Contaminants on the brakes or tires
can cause loss of control.

 Make sure that there is no oil or

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 deter-
gent.

 Before operating the scooter

test its braking performance
and cornering behavior.

ECA10801

 Apply spray oil and wax spar-

ingly 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.

 Consult a Yamaha dealer for ad-

vice on what products to use.

 Washing, rainy weather or humid

climates can cause the headlight
lens to fog. Turning the headlight
on for a short period of time will
help remove the moisture from the

Storage

Short-term

Always store your scooter in a cool, dry
place and, if necessary, protect it
against dust with a porous cover. Be
sure the engine and the exhaust sys­tem are cool before covering the
scooter.

ECA10821

 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. WARNING! To

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

[EWA10952]

7-4

4. Lubricate all control cables and
the pivoting points of all levers and
pedals as well as of the side­stand/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
6-27.

Make any necessary repairs before
storing the scooter.
