EUU75900

THINK OF YOUR SAFETYBoth scooters and mopeds are fascinating vehicles which give a tremendous feeling of freedom to their riders. They

must be correctly maintained at all times in order to ensure optimum performance. However, as a rider you must also

ensure that your physical condition is good, and that you are not tired, in order that you too can optimize your vehicle

control. Medicines, drugs and alcohol should not be combined with riding, especially alcohol, which increases the

individual’s likelihood of taking risks. Alcohol is dangerous, even in small quantities.

Correct protective riding gear is just as much a part of motorcycling safety as the safety belt is in the car; a good leather

suit and gloves, sturdy boots and a good quality, properly fitting crash helmet are ideal. But beware: good protective

clothing can result in the individual being lulled into a false sense of security. When this happens more risks are taken

and speeds increase... this particularly applies in wet weather. The good motorcyclist therefore rides defensively and

protectively in order to minimize risks.

EUU77201

SAFETY INFORMATIONTWO-WHEELED SCOOTERS ARE SINGLE TRACK VEHICLES. THEIR SAFE USE AND OPERATION ARE DEPEN-

DENT UPON THE USE OF PROPER RIDING TECHNIQUES AS WELL AS THE EXPERTISE OF THE OPERATOR.

EVERY OPERATOR SHOULD KNOW THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS BEFORE RIDING.

HE OR SHE SHOULD:

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

RATION.

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.

5. ALWAYS RESPECT THE RELEVANT LAWS AND REGULATIONS OF EACH COUNTRY.

1

1-3


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 in certain conditions (check the relevant regulation of

each country).

3. Most traffic accidents involving scooters and cars are due to the fact that car drivers do not see scooters. By making

yourself clearly visible, you can reduce the risks of accidents.

From now on:

a. Wear a brightly colored jacket.

b. Be very cautious when approaching crossroad, because this is where most accidents are caused.

c. Ride where other drivers can see you. Avoid remaining in car drivers' “blind spot”.

4. Numerous accidents are equally due to the rider’s lack of experience. In fact, it is those scooter riders who do not

hold a full driving licence who are involved in most accidents.

a. Make sure that you are properly taught. Do not lend your scooter to anyone who is not an experienced rider.

b. Know your limitations and do not over-estimate them.

c. Practice wherever there is no traffic until you are familiar with the scooter and its controls.

5. Many scooter accidents are due to riding faults. A typical riding fault is where the rider takes a corner too wide

because of EXCESSIVE SPEED or takes it too sharply (too tight a corner for the speed).

a. Always observe the speed limits and never go faster than the state of the road and the traffic conditions allow.

b. Always signal when turning or changing lanes. Make sure you can be seen by other road users.

6. The operator’s and passenger’s posture are important for proper control.

a. The operator should keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the footboard during operation to

maintain control of the scooter.

b. The passenger should always hold on the operator, or the seat strap or grab bar if the scooter is so 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 drugs.

1

1-4


8. Never carry any object which can cause danger if they fall off (pointed or sharp objects, for example).

9. This scooter is designed for on-road use only. It is not suitable for off-road use.

10. Always be particularly attentive when riding the scooter, and take care not to allow yourself to be distracted or

influenced by objects or people.

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.

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

could delay seeing a hazard.

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

lacerations.

4. Never wear loose fitting clothing. It could catch on the control levers or wheels and cause injury or 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. A passenger should also observe the above precautions.

MODIFICATION

Modifications made to the scooter not approved by Yamaha, or the removal of original equipment, may render your

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, extreme caution should be used if adding cargo or accessories

to your scooter. Use extra care if riding a scooter which has added cargo or accessories. Here are some general guidelines

to follow if loading cargo or adding accessories to your scooter:

LOADING

The total weight of the operator, passenger, accessories and cargo must not exceed the maximum load limit of 152 kg

(335 lb).

When loading within these weight limits, keep the following in mind:

1. Cargo and accessory weight should be kept as low and close to the scooter as possible. Be sure to distribute the

weight as evenly as possible on both sides of the machine to minimize imbalance or instability.

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

scooter before riding. Recheck accessory mounts and cargo restraints frequently.

3. Never attach any large or heavy items to the handlebars, front forks, or front fender. These items can create unstable

handling or slow steering response.

1

1-6


ACCESSORIES

Yamaha original accessories have been specially designed for use on this scooter. Because Yamaha can not test every

accessory which is available on the market, the owner is personally responsible for the selection, fitting and use of

accessories of other makes.

The directives dealing with loading apply equally to 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 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 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 being passed by or passing 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.

2. Caution must be used if adding electrical accessories. If these 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.

1

1-7


GASOLINE AND EXHAUST GAS

1. GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:

a. Always turn off the engine when refueling.

b. Take care not to spill any gasoline on the engine or exhaust pipe(s)/muffler(s) 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 off the engine before leaving the scooter unattended and remove the ignition key. When parking the

scooter, note the following:

a. The engine and exhaust pipe(s)/muffler(s) may be hot. 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: the scooter may fall over.

c. Do not park the scooter near a flammable source, e.g. a kerosene heater, or near an open flame. The scooter

could catch fire.

4. If you should swallow any gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or allow gasoline to get in your eye(s), see your

doctor immediately. If any gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash with soap and water and

change your clothes.

1-8


RECOMMENDATIONS IN CASE OF ACCIDENT

If the scooter has been in an accident, it is imperative that the following points are checked:

1. The good condition of the entire braking system, including the levers, cables and lines, etc ...

2. The good condition of the active or passive indicators (lights, reflectors ...)

3. The good condition of all vital components such as the frame, wheels, suspension systems, oil reservoirs, petrol

tanks, etc ...

4. Do not ride the scooter if there is any doubt about its condition or operation, and have it taken to a Yamaha dealer for

a check-up and any repairs required, pointing out all its operating faults.

Recommended fuel:

UNLEADED FUEL

Fuel tank capacity:

Total:

4.6 L (1.01 Imp gal, 1.21 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 research

octane number of 91 or higher. If

knocking or pinging occurs, use a dif-

ferent brand of gasoline or premium

unleaded fuel. Unleaded fuel will give

you longer spark plug life and reduced

maintenance cost. If unleaded gasoline

is not available, then leaded regular

gasoline can be used.

Gasohol

There are two types of gasohol;

gasohol containing ethanol and that

containing methanol. Gasohol

containing ethanol can be used if etha-

nol content does not exceed 10%.

Gasohol containing methanol is not rec-

ommended by Yamaha because it can

cause fuel system damage or vehicle

performance problems.

WARNINGEUU61050

Gas and oil are flammable:

• When refuelling immediately after

operation, take special care not to

spill gasoline over the engine or

muffler.

• Should you spill gasoline or oil on

the engine or muffler, quicky wipe

it off before starting the engine.

• When refuelling, be sure to stop

the engine.

• Never attempt to refuel the scoo-

ter while smoking or near an open

flame.

EAE00000

Owners are personally responsible for their vehicle’s condition. Your scooter’s vital function can start to deteriorate quickly

and unexpectedly, even if it remains unused (for instance, if it exposed to the elements). Any damage, fluid leak or loss of

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

tion, you check the following points before each ride.

ITEM CHECKS PAGE


Front brake (disc) • Check operation, free play, fluid level and vehicle for fluid leakage. 4-5/7-10 ~ 7-12• Top up with DOT #3 or DOT #4 brake fluid if necessary.

Rear brake (drum) • Check operation, damage and free play. 4-6/7-10/7-11• Adjust if necessary.

Throttle grip and housing • Check for smooth operation. 7-7/7-13• Adjust / Lubricate if necessary.

Engine oil • Check engine oil level and oil leakage. 4-6/4-8• Add oil if necessary.

Final gear oil • Check vehicle for leakage. 7-5• Add oil if necessary.

Wheels/Tires • Check tires pressure, wear and damage. 7-8

Fittings/Fasteners • Check all chassis fittings and fasteners. -• Tighten / Adjust if necessary.

Lights, signals • Check for proper operation. Correct if necessary. 4-1 ~ 4-5

and switches

Fuel tank • Check fuel level. Top up as required. 4-6

Controls/Meter cables • Check for smooth operation. 7-13• Lubricate if necessary.

Brake lever pivots • Check for smooth operation. 7-14• Lubricate if necessary.

Centerstand pivot • Check for smooth operation. 7-14• Lubricate if necessary.

5-2

NOTE:

Pre-operation checks should be made each time the scooter 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

The engine compartment and all the fan inlets need to stay clean and free of foreign materials.

Do not leave any rag inside or under the plastic covers of your scooter, whatever the location.

1. The engine, exhaust pipe(s), and muffler(s) will be very hot after the engine has been run. Be careful not to

touch them or to allow any clothing item to contact them during inspection or repair.

2. If any item in the PRE-OPERATION CHECK is not working properly, have it inspected and repaired before

operating the scooter. If necessary ask a Yamaha dealer.

Engine break-inThere is never a more important period

in the life of your scooter than the period

between zero and 1,000 km (600 mi).

For this reason we ask that you

carefully read the following material.

Because the engine is brand new, you

must 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 which might result in exces-

sive heating of the engine, must be

avoided.

EAF32000

1. 0 ~ 150 km (0 ~ 90 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.

2. 150 ~ 500 km (90 ~ 300 mi):

Avoid prolonged operation above

1/2 throttle.

CAUTION:

EUU35300

After 1,000 km (600 mi) of operation,

be sure to replace the transmission

oil.

EUU32200

If any engine trouble should occur

during the break-in period, consult

a Yamaha dealer immediately.

CAUTION:

3. 500 ~ 1,000 km (300 ~ 600 mi):

EAH20202

Spark plug inspectionThe spark plug is an important engine

component and is easy to inspect. The

condition of the spark plug can indicate

the condition of the engine. The ideal

color on the white porcelain insulator

around the center electrode is a me-

dium-to-light tan color for a scooter that

is being ridden normally. Do not attempt

to diagnose any problems yourself.

Instead, take the scooter to a Yamaha

dealer. You should periodically remove

and inspect the spark plug because

heat and deposits will cause the spark

plug to slowly break down and erode.

If electrode erosion becomes exces-

sive, or if carbon and other deposits are

excessive, you should replace the

spark plugs with the specified plug.

Standard spark plug:

BR8HS (NGK)

Before installing the spark plug,

measure the electrode gap with a wire

thickness gauge and adjust the gap to

specification as necessary.

Spark plug gap:

0.5 ~ 0.7 mm (0.020 ~ 0.031 in)

When installing the plug, always clean

the gasket surface and use a new

gasket. Wipe off any grime from the

threads and tighten the spark plug to

the specified torque.

Tightening torque:

Spark plug:

20 Nm (2.0 m·kg, 14 ft·lb)

EUU03801

NOTE:

If a torque wrench is not available when

you are installing a spark plug, a good

estimate of the correct torque is 1/4 to

1/2 turn past finger tight. Have the spark

plug torqued to the correct value as

soon as possible with a torque wrench.

1. Proper loading is important for

several characteristics of your

scooter; such as handling,

braking, performance and safety.

NEVER OVERLOAD YOUR SCOO-

TER. Make sure the total weight

of the cargo, rider, and accesso-

ries (fairing, saddlebags, etc. if

approved for this model) does not

exceed the maximum load of the

scooter. Operation of an over-

loaded scooter could cause tire

damage, an accident, or even

injury.

2. Improper tire pressure greatly af-

fects tire life and handling. Check

the pressure of both tires prior to

each trip and adjust properly if

necessary. If tire pressure is too

high, shocks from the road will

not be damped and will be carried

to the frame and handlebars, thus

adversely affecting riding

comfort. In addition, scooter

stability will be poor when ma-

king a turn. If tire pressure is too

low, tires will be deformed greatly,

thus shortening tire life. When

braking, the tires could slip over

the wheel rims and the tubes

could be damaged. Also, when

turning a corner or going around

a curve, the scooter could easily

turn over.

1. Lower brake fluid levelEAH88202

Inspecting the brake fluid levelInsufficient brake fluid may let air enter

the brake system, possibly causing the

brakes to become ineffective. Before

riding, check that the brake fluid is

above the lower level and replenish

when necessary.

Observe these precautions:

1. When checking the fluid level, make

sure the top of the master cylinder is

level by turning the handlebars.

2. Use only the designated quality

brake fluid. Otherwise, the rubber

seals may deteriorate, causing

leakage and poor brake perfor-

mance.

Recommended brake fluid:

DOT #3 or DOT #4

3. Refill with the same type of brake

fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a

harmful chemical reaction and lead

to poor brake performance.

4. 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”.

5. Brake fluid may deteriorate painted

surfaces or plastic parts. Always

clean up spilled fluid immediately.

6. Have a Yamaha dealer check the

cause if the brake fluid level goes

down.

and make sure that the terminals are

tight. Add distilled water if the electrolyte

level is low.

EAI70002

Recharging the battery.Disconnect the battery and remove it

from its compartment. Remove the

element plugs. The value of the battery

charge is one tenth of its capacity (for

example, a battery having a capacity

of 4 amps must be recharged with an

amperage value of 0.4 amps). When

the recharging is complete, check the

electrolyte level and top it up if required.

EUU33601

When inspecting the battery, be sure

the breather pipe is routed correctly.

If the breather pipe is positioned in

such a way as to cause battery

electrolyte or gas to exit onto the

frame, structural and cosmetic

damage to the scooter can occur.

CAUTION:

WARNINGEUU65800

Battery electrolyte is poisonous and

dangerous, causing severe burns,

etc. It contains sulfuric acid. Avoid

contact with skin, eyes or clothing.

Antidote:

EXTERNAL: Flush with water.

INTERNAL: Drink large quantities of

water or milk. Follow with milk of

magnesia, beaten egg, or vegetable

oil. Call a physician immediately.

EYES: Flush with water for 15 minu-

tes and get prompt medical atten-

tion. Batteries produce explosive

gases. Keep sparks, flame, cigaret-

tes etc., away. Ventilate when

charging or using in an enclosed

space. Always shield your eyes

when working near batteries.

necessary.

2. When the scooter will not be used

for a month or longer, remove the

battery and store it in a cool, dark

place. Completely recharge the

battery before reusing.

3. If the battery will be stored for a lon-

ger period than the above, check the

specific gravity of the fluid at least

TroubleshootingAlthough Yamaha scooters receive a

rigid inspection before shipment from

the factory, trouble may occur during

operation. Any problem in the fuel, com-

pression, or ignition systems can cause

poor starting and loss of power. The

troubleshooting chart describes a quick,

easy procedure for making checks. If

your scooter requires any repair, bring

it to a Yamaha dealer. The skilled

technicians at a Yamaha dealership

have the tools, experience, and know-

how to properly service your scooter.

Use only genuine Yamaha parts on

your scooter. Imitation parts may look

like Yamaha parts, but they are often

inferior. Consequently, they have a

shorter service life and can lead to

expensive repair bills.

7. Automotive-type wax may be applied

to all painted and chrome-plated sur-

faces. Avoid combination cleaner-

waxes. Many contain abrasives

which may mar the paint or

protective finish. When finished, start

the engine and let it idle for several

minutes.

4. Once the majority of the dirt has

been hosed off, wash all surfaces

with warm water and mild, detergent-

type soap. An old toothbrush or bottle

brush is handy for hard-to-get-at pla-

ces.

5. Rinse the scooter off immediately

with clean water and dry all surfa-

ces with a chamois, clean towel, or

soft absorbent cloth.

6. Clean the seat with a vinyl upholstery

cleaner to keep the cover pliable and

glossy.

CAUTION:EUU34602

Excessive hose pressure may cause

water seepage and deterioration of

wheel bearings, front fork, brakes,

transmission seals and electrical

devices. Many expensive repair bills

have resulted from improper high

pressure detergent applications

such as those available in coin-

operated car washers.

EAK01102

A. CLEANINGFrequent, thorough cleaning of your

scooter will not only enhance its

appearance but will improve its general

performance and extend the useful life

of many components.

1. Before cleaning the scooter:

a. Block off the end of the exhaust

pipe to prevent water entry; a

plastic bag and strong rubber

band may be used.

b. Make sure the spark plug(s) and

all fil ler caps are properly

installed.

2. If the engine case is excessively

greasy, apply degreaser with a paint

brush. Do not apply degreaser to

wheel axles.

3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with

a garden hose. Use only enough

pressure to do the job.

CAUTION:All of the fan inlets need to be clean

and free from foreign materials.

8-2

EAK01500

B. STORAGELong term storage (60 days or more)

of your scooter will require some

preventive procedures to guard against

deterioration. After thoroughly cleaning

the scooter, prepare for storage as

follows:

1. Drain the fuel tank, fuel lines, and

carburetor float bowl(s).

2. Remove the spark plug, pour about

one tablespoon of SAE 10W30 or

20W40 motor oil in the spark plug

hole and reinstall the spark plug. Kick

the engine over several times (with

the ignition off) to coat the cylinder

walls with oil.

3. Lubricate all control cables.

4. Block up the frame to raise both

wheels off the ground.

5. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust

pipe outlet to prevent moisture from

entering.

6. If storing in a humid or salt-air

atmosphere, coat all exposed metal

surfaces with a light film of oil. Do

not apply oil to any rubber parts or

the seat cover.

7. Remove the battery and charge it.

Store it in a dry place and recharge

it once a month. Do not store the

battery in an excessively warm or

cold place (less than 0°C (30°F) or

more than 30°C (90°F)).

EUU66400

When using the starter motor to

crank the engine, remove the spark

plug wires, and ground them to

prevent sparking.
