Q SAFETY INFORMATION

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:

1. OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUCTIONS FROM A COMPETENT SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS
OF SCOOTER OPERATION.

2. OBSERVE THE WARNINGS AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS IN THE OWNER’S
MANUAL.

3. OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING IN SAFE AND PROPER RIDING TECHNIQUES.

4. OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECHNICAL SERVICE AS INDICATED BY THE OWNER’S MANUAL
AND/OR WHEN MADE NECESSARY BY MECHANICAL CONDITIONS.

Safe riding

1. Always make pre-operation checks. Careful checks may help prevent an accident.

2. This scooter is designed to carry the operator and passenger.

3. 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.

1

Therefore:

a. Wear a brightly colored jacket.
b. Use extra caution when approaching and passing through intersections, since intersec-

tions are the most likely places for scooter accidents to occur.

c. Ride where other motorists can see you. Avoid riding in another motorist’s blind spot.

1-1

Q SAFETY INFORMATION

4. Many accidents involve inexperienced operators. In fact, many operators who have been
involved in accidents do not even have a current driver’s license.

1

a. Make sure that you are qualified and that you only lend your scooter to other qualified

operators.
b. Know your skills and limits. Staying within your limits may help you to avoid an accident.
c. 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.

5. 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 under cornering (insuf­ficient lean angle for the speed).

a. Always obey the speed limit and never travel faster than warranted by road and traffic

conditions.

b. Always signal before turning or changing lanes. Make sure that other motorists can see

you.

6. The posture of the operator and passenger is important for proper control.

a. The operator should keep both hands on the handlebar and both feet on the footboard

during operation to maintain control of the scooter.

b. 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.

c. Never carry a passenger unless he or she can firmly place both feet on the passenger

footrests.

7. 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 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.

1. Always wear an approved helmet.

1-2

Q SAFETY INFORMATION

2. Wear a face shield or goggles. Wind in your unprotected eyes could contribute to an impair­ment of vision which could delay seeing a hazard.

3. The use of a jacket, substantial shoes, trousers, gloves, etc., is effective in preventing or
reducing abrasions or lacerations.

4. Never wear loose-fitting clothes, otherwise they could catch on the control levers or wheels
and cause injury or an accident.

5. 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.

6. Passengers should also observe the above precautions.

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

Loading

The total weight of the operator, passenger, accessories and cargo must not exceed the maxi­mum load limit of 143 kg (315 lb). When loading within this weight limit, keep the following in
mind:

1. 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

1-3

Q SAFETY INFORMATION

minimize imbalance or instability.

2. Shifting weights can create a sudden imbalance. Make sure that accessories and cargo are

1

securely attached to the scooter before riding. Check accessory mounts and cargo restraints
frequently.

3. 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.

1. 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.

a. 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.

b. Bulky or large accessories may seriously affect the stability of the scooter due to aerody-

namic 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.

c. 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.

1-4

Q SAFETY INFORMATION

2. 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

1. GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:

a. Always turn the engine off when refueling.
b. Take care not to spill any gasoline on the engine or exhaust system when refueling.
c. Never refuel while smoking or in the vicinity of an open flame.

2. 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.

3. 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:

a. 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.
b. Do not park the scooter on a slope or soft ground, otherwise it may fall over.
c. Do not park the scooter near a flammable source (e.g., a kerosene heater, or near an

open flame), otherwise it could catch fire.

4. 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.

1

1-5

Q SAFETY INFORMATION

Further safe-riding points

1. Make sure to signal clearly when making turns.

1

2. 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.

3. Slow down as you approach a corner or turn. Once you have completed a turn, accelerate slowly.

4. Be careful when passing parked cars. A driver might not see you and open a door in your path.

5. 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.

6. The brake lining could get wet when you wash the scooter. After washing the scooter, check the
brakes before riding.

7. Always wear a helmet, gloves, trousers (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 1-3 in the “Loading and accessories” section
for instructions on carrying a load.)

Recommended fuel:

UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY

Fuel tank capacity:

Total amount:

5.7L(1.25 Imp gal, 1.5 US gal)

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.

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.

Engine break-in

There is never a more important pe­riod in the life of your engine than
the period between 0 and 1,000 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 1,000 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.

EAUT0003

0-150 km (0-100 mi)

Avoid operation above 1/3 throttle.
Stop the engine and let it cool for 5
to 10 minutes after every hour of
operation. Vary the speed of the
scooter from time to time. Do not
operate it at one set throttle position.

150-500 km (100-300 mi)

Avoid prolonged operation above 1/
2 throttle.

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 level is low,
be sure to check the brake pads for
wear and the brake system for leak­age.
Observe these precautions:

8 When checking the fluid level,

make sure that the top of the

Recommended brake fluid:

DOT 4

NOTE:

If DOT 4 is not available, DOT 3 can
be used.

8 Refill with the same type of

brake fluid. Mixing fluids may
result in a harmful chemical re­action and lead to poor braking
performance.

8 Be careful that water does not

enter the master cylinder when
refilling. Water will significantly
lower the boiling point of the
fluid and may result in vapor
lock.

8 Brake fluid may deteriorate

painted surfaces or plastic
parts. Always clean up spilled
fluid immediately.

8 As the brake pads wear, it is

normal for the brake fluid level
to gradually go down. How­ever, if the brake fluid level goes
down suddenly, have a Yamaha
dealer check the cause.

6

Changing the brake fluid

Have a Yamaha dealer change the
brake fluid at the intervals specified
in the NOTE after the periodic main­tenance and lubrication chart. In ad­dition, have the oil seals of the brake

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 chart
represents a quick and easy proce­dure 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.

7

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.

Cleaning

ECA00011

cC

8 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, immediately dry it,
and then apply a corrosion pro­tection spray.

8 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.

8 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

SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE

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

8 Do not use high-pressure

washers 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.

8 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.

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.

ECA00012

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.

7

7-2

SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE

After cleaning

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

2. Use a chrome polish to shine
chrome, aluminum and stain­less-steel 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

7

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.

8 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

8 Apply spray oil and wax spar-

ingly and make sure to wipe off
any excess.

8 Never apply oil or wax to any

8 Avoid using abrasive polishing

compounds as they will wear
away the paint.

NOTE:

Consult a Yamaha dealer for advice
on what products to use.

Storage

Short-term

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

ECA00015

cC

8 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.

8 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.

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.

EWA00003

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

7

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 or more
than 30°C). For more informa­tion on storing the battery, see
