SAFETY INFORMATION

EAU10261

SCOOTERS ARE SINGLE TRACKVEHICLES. THEIR SAFE USE ANDOPERATION ARE DEPENDENTUPON THE USE OF PROPERRIDING TECHNIQUES AS WELL ASTHE EXPERTISE OF THE OPERA-TOR. EVERY OPERATOR SHOULDKNOW THE FOLLOWING REQUIRE-MENTS BEFORE RIDING THISSCOOTER.HE OR SHE SHOULD:

�

OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUC-TIONS FROM A COMPETENTSOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OFSCOOTER OPERATION.

�

OBSERVE THE WARNINGSAND MAINTENANCE REQUIRE-MENTS IN THE OWNER’S MAN-UAL.

�

OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAININGIN SAFE AND PROPER RIDINGTECHNIQUES.

�

OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECH-NICAL SERVICE AS INDICATEDBY THE OWNER’S MANUALAND/OR WHEN MADE NECES-SARY BY MECHANICAL CONDI-

TIONS.

Safe riding

�

Always make pre-operationchecks. Careful checks may helpprevent an accident.

�

This scooter is designed to carrythe operator and passenger.

�

The failure of motorists to detectand recognize scooters in traffic isthe predominating cause of auto-mobile/scooter accidents. Manyaccidents have been caused by anautomobile driver who did not seethe scooter. Making yourself con-spicuous appears to be very effec-tive in reducing the chance of thistype of accident.

�

Therefore:

�

Wear a brightly colored jacket.

�

Use extra caution when ap-proaching and passing throughintersections, since intersec-tions are the most likely placesfor scooter accidents to occur.

�

Ride where other motorists cansee you. Avoid riding in anothermotorist’s blind spot.

�

Many accidents involve inexperi-enced operators. In fact, many op-erators who have been involved inaccidents do not even have a cur-rent driver’s license.

�

Make sure that you are qualifiedand that you only lend yourscooter to other qualified opera-tors.

�

Know your skills and limits.Staying within your limits mayhelp you to avoid an accident.

�

We recommend that you prac-tice riding your scooter wherethere is no traffic until you havebecome thoroughly familiar withthe scooter and all of its con-trols.

�

Many accidents have been causedby error of the scooter operator. Atypical error made by the operatoris veering wide on a turn due toEXCESSIVE SPEED or undercor-nering (insufficient lean angle forthe speed).

�

Always obey the speed limit andnever travel faster than warrant-ed by road and traffic conditions.

SAFETY INFORMATION

1-2

1

�

Always signal before turning orchanging lanes. Make sure thatother motorists can see you.

�

The posture of the operator andpassenger is important for propercontrol.

�

The operator should keep bothhands on the handlebar andboth feet on the footboard duringoperation to maintain control ofthe scooter.

�

The passenger should alwayshold onto the operator, the seatstrap or grab bar, if equipped,with both hands and keep bothfeet on the passenger footrests.

�

Never carry a passenger unlesshe or she can firmly place bothfeet on the passenger footrests.

�

Never ride under the influence ofalcohol or other drugs.

�

This scooter is designed foron-road use only. It is not suitablefor off-road use.

Protective apparel

The majority of fatalities from scooteraccidents are the result of head inju-

ries. The use of a safety helmet is thesingle most critical factor in the preven-tion or reduction of head injuries.

�

Always wear an approved helmet.

�

Wear a face shield or goggles.Wind in your unprotected eyescould contribute to an impairmentof vision which could delay seeinga hazard.

�

The use of a jacket, substantialshoes, trousers, gloves, etc., is ef-fective in preventing or reducingabrasions or lacerations.

�

Never wear loose-fitting clothes,otherwise they could catch on thecontrol levers or wheels and causeinjury or an accident.

�

Never touch the engine or exhaustsystem during or after operation.They become very hot and cancause burns. Always wear protec-tive clothing that covers your legs,ankles, and feet.

�

Passengers should also observethe above precautions.

Modifications

Modifications made to this scooter not

approved by Yamaha, or the removal oforiginal equipment, may render thescooter unsafe for use and may causesevere personal injury. Modificationsmay also make your scooter illegal touse.

Loading and accessories

Adding accessories or cargo to yourscooter can adversely affect stabilityand handling if the weight distribution ofthe scooter is changed. To avoid thepossibility of an accident, use extremecaution when adding cargo or accesso-ries to your scooter. Use extra carewhen riding a scooter that has addedcargo or accessories. Here are somegeneral guidelines to follow if loadingcargo or adding accessories to yourscooter:

LoadingThe total weight of the operator, pas-senger, accessories and cargo mustnot exceed the maximum load limit.

Maximum load:

196 kg (432 lb)

SAFETY INFORMATION

1-3

1

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

�

Cargo and accessory weightshould be kept as low and close tothe scooter as possible. Make sureto distribute the weight as evenlyas possible on both sides of thescooter to minimize imbalance orinstability.

�

Shifting weights can create a sud-den imbalance. Make sure that ac-cessories and cargo are securelyattached to the scooter beforeriding. Check accessory mountsand cargo restraints frequently.

�

Never attach any large or heavyitems to the handlebar, front fork,or front fender. Such items cancreate unstable handling or a slowsteering response.

AccessoriesGenuine Yamaha accessories havebeen specifically designed for use onthis scooter. Since Yamaha cannot testall other accessories that may be avail-able, you must personally be responsi-ble for the proper selection, installation

and use of non-Yamaha accessories.Use extreme caution when selectingand installing any accessories.Keep the following guidelines in mind,as well as those provided under “Load-ing” when mounting accessories.

�

Never install accessories or carrycargo that would impair the perfor-mance of your scooter. Carefullyinspect the accessory before usingit to make sure that it does not inany way reduce ground clearanceor cornering clearance, limit sus-pension travel, steering travel orcontrol operation, or obscure lightsor reflectors.

�

Accessories fitted to the handle-bar or the front fork area cancreate instability due to improperweight distribution or aerody-namic changes. If accessoriesare added to the handlebar orfront fork area, they must be aslightweight as possible andshould be kept to a minimum.

�

Bulky or large accessories mayseriously affect the stability ofthe scooter due to aerodynamic

effects. Wind may attempt to liftthe scooter, or the scooter maybecome unstable in crosswinds. These accessories mayalso cause instability whenpassing or being passed bylarge vehicles.

�

Certain accessories can dis-place the operator from his orher normal riding position. Thisimproper position limits the free-dom of movement of the opera-tor and may limit control ability,therefore, such accessories arenot recommended.

�

Use caution when adding electri-cal accessories. If electrical acces-sories exceed the capacity of thescooter’s electrical system anelectric failure could result, whichcould cause a dangerous loss oflights or engine power.

Gasoline and exhaust gas

�

GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMA-BLE:

�

Always turn the engine off whenrefueling.

SAFETY INFORMATION

EAU10371

Further safe-riding points

�

Be sure to signal clearly whenmaking turns.

�

Braking can be extremely difficulton a wet road. Avoid hard braking,because the scooter could slide.Apply the brakes slowly whenstopping on a wet surface.

�

Slow down as you approach a cor-ner or turn. Once you have com-pleted a turn, accelerate slowly.

�

Be careful when passing parkedcars. A driver might not see youand open a door in your path.

�

Railroad crossings, streetcar rails,iron plates on road constructionsites, and manhole covers be-come extremely slippery whenwet. Slow down and cross themwith caution. Keep the scooter up-right, otherwise it could slide outfrom under you.

EAU36080

CAUTION:

ECA11400

Use only unleaded gasoline. The useof leaded gasoline will cause severedamage to internal engine parts,such as the valves and piston rings,

as well as to the exhaust system.

Your Yamaha engine has been de-signed to use regular unleaded gaso-line with a pump octane number[(R+M)/2] of 86 or higher, or a researchoctane number of 91 or higher. Ifknocking (or pinging) occurs, use agasoline of a different brand or premi-um unleaded fuel. Use of unleaded fuelwill extend spark plug life and reducemaintenance costs.

Gasohol

There are two types of gasohol: gaso-hol containing ethanol and that contain-ing methanol. Gasohol containingethanol can be used if the ethanol con-tent does not exceed 10%. Gasoholcontaining methanol is not recom-mended by Yamaha because it cancause damage to the fuel system or ve-hicle performance problems.

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 lossof tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a thorough visual inspec-tion, 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.

WARNING

Checking the spark plug

The spark plug is an important enginecomponent, which is easy to check.Since heat and deposits will cause anyspark plug to slowly erode, the sparkplug should be removed and checkedin accordance with the periodic mainte-nance and lubrication chart. In addition,the condition of the spark plug can re-veal the condition of the engine.

To remove the spark plug

1. Open the rider seat. (Seepage 3-11.)

2. Pull up the storage compartmentmat, and then remove the sparkplug cover by removing thescrews.

3. Remove the spark plug cap.

4. Remove the spark plug as shown,with the spark plug wrench includ-ed in the owner’s tool kit.

To check the spark plug

1. Check that the porcelain insulatoraround the center electrode of thespark plug is a medium-to-light tan(the ideal color when the vehicle isridden normally).

NOTE:

If the spark plug shows a distinctly dif-ferent color, the engine could be defec-tive. Do not attempt to diagnose suchproblems yourself. Instead, have a

Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.

2. Check the spark plug for electrodeerosion and excessive carbon orother deposits, and replace it ifnecessary.

3. Install the spark plug with the

spark plug wrench, and then tight-en it to the specified torque.

NOTE:

If a torque wrench is not available wheninstalling a spark plug, a good estimateof the correct torque is 1/4–1/2 turnpast finger tight. However, the sparkplug should be tightened to the speci-

fied torque as soon as possible.

Checking the front and rear brake pads

The front and rear brake pads must bechecked for wear at the intervals spec-ified in the periodic maintenance andlubrication chart.

EAU22420

Front brake pads

Each front brake pad is provided with awear indicator groove, which allowsyou to check the brake pad wear with-out having to disassemble the brake.To check the brake pad wear, checkthe wear indicator groove. If a brakepad has worn to the point that the wear

indicator groove has almost disap-peared, have a Yamaha dealer replacethe brake pads as a set.

EAU34210

Rear brake pads

Have a Yamaha dealer check eachrear brake pad for damage and mea-sure the lining thickness and if neces-sary, replace them as a set.

enter the brake system, possibly caus-ing it to become ineffective.Before riding, check that the brake fluidis above the minimum level mark andreplenish if necessary. A low brake fluidlevel may indicate worn brake padsand/or brake system leakage. If thebrake fluid level is low, be sure to checkthe brake pads for wear and the brakesystem for leakage.Observe these precautions:

�

When checking the fluid level,make sure that the top of the brakefluid reservoir is level.

�

Use only the recommended qualitybrake fluid, otherwise the rubberseals may deteriorate, causingleakage and poor braking perfor-mance.

�

Refill with the same type of brakefluid. Mixing fluids may result in aharmful chemical reaction andlead to poor braking performance.

�

Be careful that water does not en-ter the brake fluid reservoir when

refilling. Water will significantlylower the boiling point of the fluidand may result in vapor lock.

�

Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-ed surfaces or plastic parts. Al-ways clean up spilled fluidimmediately.

�

As the brake pads wear, it is nor-mal for the brake fluid level to grad-ually go down. However, if thebrake fluid level goes down sud-denly, have a Yamaha dealercheck the cause.

EAU22730

Changing the brake fluid

Have a Yamaha dealer change thebrake fluid at the intervals specified inthe NOTE after the periodic mainte-nance and lubrication chart. In addition,have the oil seals of the master cylin-ders and calipers as well as the brakehoses replaced at the intervals listedbelow or whenever they are damagedor leaking.

�

Oil seals: Replace every twoyears.

�

Brake hoses: Replace every fouryears.

Care

While the open design of a scooter re-veals the attractiveness of the technol-ogy, it also makes it more vulnerable.Rust and corrosion can develop even ifhigh-quality components are used. Arusty exhaust pipe may go unnoticedon a car, however, it detracts from theoverall appearance of a scooter. Fre-quent and proper care does not onlycomply with the terms of the warranty,but it will also keep your scooter lookinggood, extend its life and optimize itsperformance.

Before cleaning

1. Cover the muffler outlet with aplastic bag after the engine hascooled down.

2. Make sure that all caps and coversas well as all electrical couplersand connectors, including thespark plug cap, are tightly in-stalled.

3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt,like oil burnt onto the crankcase,with a degreasing agent and abrush, but never apply such prod-

ucts onto seals, gaskets and wheelaxles. Always rinse the dirt and de-greaser off with water.

Cleaning

CAUTION:

ECA10780

�

Avoid using strong acidic wheelcleaners, especially on spokedwheels. If such products areused on hard-to-remove dirt, donot leave the cleaner on the af-fected area any longer than in-structed. Also, thoroughly rinsethe area off with water, immedi-ately dry it, and then apply a cor-rosion protection spray.

�

Improper cleaning can damagewindshields, cowlings, panelsand other plastic parts. Use onlya soft, clean cloth or spongewith mild detergent and water toclean plastic.

�

Do not use any harsh chemicalproducts on plastic parts. Besure to avoid using cloths orsponges which have been incontact with strong or abrasivecleaning products, solvent or

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

�

Do not use high-pressure wash-ers or steam-jet cleaners sincethey cause water seepage anddeterioration in the following ar-eas: seals (of wheel and swing-arm bearings, fork and brakes),electric components (couplers,connectors, instruments,switches and lights), breatherhoses and vents.

�

For scooters equipped with awindshield: Do not use strongcleaners or hard sponges asthey will cause dulling orscratching. Some cleaning com-pounds for plastic may leavescratches on the windshield.Test the product on a small hid-den part of the windshield tomake sure that it does not leaveany marks. If the windshield isscratched, use a quality plasticpolishing compound after

washing.

After normal useRemove dirt with warm water, a milddetergent, and a soft, clean sponge,and then rinse thoroughly with cleanwater. Use a toothbrush or bottlebrushfor hard-to-reach areas. Stubborn dirtand insects will come off more easily ifthe area is covered with a wet cloth fora few minutes before cleaning.

After riding in the rain, near the sea oron salt-sprayed roadsSince sea salt or salt sprayed on theroads during winter are extremely cor-rosive in combination with water, carryout the following steps after each ride inthe rain, near the sea or onsalt-sprayed roads.

NOTE:

Salt sprayed on roads in the winter may

remain well into spring.

1. Clean the scooter with cold waterand a mild detergent after the en-gine has cooled down.

CAUTION:

ECA10790

Do not use warm water since it in-creases the corrosive action of the

salt.

2. Apply a corrosion protection sprayon all metal, including chrome- andnickel-plated, surfaces to preventcorrosion.

After cleaning

1. Dry the scooter with a chamois oran absorbing cloth.

2. Use a chrome polish to shinechrome, aluminum and stain-less-steel parts, including the ex-haust system. (Even the thermallyinduced discoloring of stain-less-steel exhaust systems can beremoved through polishing.)

3. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-mended to apply a corrosion pro-tection spray on all metal,including chrome- and nickel-plat-ed, surfaces.

4. Use spray oil as a universal clean-er to remove any remaining dirt.

5. Touch up minor paint damagecaused by stones, etc.

6. Wax all painted surfaces.7. Let the scooter dry completely be-

fore storing or covering it.

WARNING

EWA10940

�

Make sure that there is no oil orwax on the brakes or tires. Ifnecessary, clean the brakediscs and brake linings with aregular brake disc cleaner or ac-etone, and wash the tires withwarm water and a mild deter-gent.

Short-term

Always store your scooter in a cool, dryplace and, if necessary, protect itagainst dust with a porous cover.

CAUTION:

ECA10820

�

Storing the scooter in a poorlyventilated room or covering itwith a tarp, while it is still wet,will allow water and humidity toseep in and cause rust.

�

To prevent corrosion, avoiddamp cellars, stables (becauseof the presence of ammonia)and areas where strong chemi-

cals are stored.

Long-term

Before storing your scooter for severalmonths:

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

2. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuelstabilizer (if available) to preventthe fuel tank from rusting and the

fuel from deteriorating.3. Perform the following steps to pro-

tect 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 placethe spark plug on the cylinderhead so that the electrodes aregrounded. (This will limit spark-ing during the next step.)

d. Turn the engine over severaltimes with the starter. (This willcoat the cylinder wall with oil.)

e. Remove the spark plug capfrom the spark plug, and theninstall the spark plug and thespark plug cap.

WARNING

YAMAHA EXTENDED SERVICE (Y.E.S.) Keep your Yamaha protected even after your warranty expires with genuine Yamaha Extended Service (Y.E.S.).

Y.E.S. is designed and administered by Yamaha Motor Corporation to provide maximum owner satisfaction. You get uninterrupted factory-backed coverage for extra peace of mind.

Y.E.S. is flexible. You choose the plan that’s right foryou: 12 months, 24 months, 36 months or, on certain models, even 48 months beyond your warranty period.

Y.E.S. is designed and administered by the same Yamaha people who handle your warranty – and itshows in the comprehensive coverage benefits. There are no mileage limitations. Coverage isn’t limited to “moving parts” or the “drive train” like many other plans. And Y.E.S. covers manufacturing defects just like the warranty. See the sample contract at your Yamahadealer to see how comforting uninterrupted factory-backed protection can be.

You don’t have to pay anything for covered repairs. There’s no deductible to pay, and repairs aren’t“pro-rated.” You don’t have any “out-of-pocket” expenses for covered repairs.

In addition, Travel and Recreation Interruption Protection (TRIP) is included at no extra cost. TRIP gives you up to $150 reimbursement per occurrence for any reasonable expenses you incur because your Yamaha needs covered service: replacement vehicle rental, emergency towing, phone calls, even food and lodging when you are away from home. This superb coverage goes into effect when you purchase Y.E.S., so it applies to any warranty repairs as well as covered repairs during your entire Y.E.S. plan period.

Y.E.S. coverage is honored at any authorized Yamaha dealer nationwide.

Y.E.S. coverage is transferable to a new owner if yousell or trade-in. That can make your Yamaha much more valuable!

This excellent Y.E.S. plan coverage is only available to Yamaha owners like you, and only while your Yamaha is still within the Yamaha Limited Warranty period. So visit your authorized Yamaha dealer to get all the facts. He can show you how easy it is to protect your investment with Yamaha Extended Service.
