SAFETY INFORMATION

EAU10261

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 OPERA- TOR. EVERY OPERATOR SHOULD KNOW THE FOLLOWING REQUIRE- MENTS BEFORE RIDING THIS SCOOTER. HE OR SHE SHOULD:

OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUC- TIONS FROM A COMPETENT SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OF SCOOTER OPERATION.

OBSERVE THE WARNINGS AND MAINTENANCE REQUIRE- MENTS IN THE OWNERS MAN- UAL.

OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING IN SAFE AND PROPER RIDING TECHNIQUES.

OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECH- NICAL SERVICE AS INDICATED BY THE OWNERS MANUAL AND/OR WHEN MADE NECES- SARY BY MECHANICAL CONDI-

TIONS.

Safe riding

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

This scooter is designed to carry the operator and passenger.

The failure of motorists to detect and recognize scooters in traffic is the predominating cause of auto- mobile/scooter accidents. Many accidents have been caused by an automobile driver who did not see the scooter. Making yourself con- spicuous appears to be very effec- tive in reducing the chance of this type of accident.

Therefore:

Wear a brightly colored jacket.

Use extra caution when ap- proaching and passing through intersections, since intersec- tions are the most likely places for scooter accidents to occur.

Ride where other motorists can see you. Avoid riding in another motorists blind spot.

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

Make sure that you are qualified and that you only lend your scooter to other qualified opera- tors.

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

We recommend that you prac- tice riding your scooter where there is no traffic until you have become thoroughly familiar with the scooter and all of its con- trols.

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 undercor- nering (insufficient lean angle for the speed).

Always obey the speed limit and never travel faster than warrant- ed by road and traffic conditions.

SAFETY INFORMATION

1-2

1

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 footboard during operation to maintain control of the scooter.

The passenger should always hold onto the operator, the seat strap or grab bar, if equipped, with both hands and keep both feet on the passenger footrests.

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

Never ride under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.

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

Protective apparel

The majority of fatalities from scooter accidents are the result of head inju-

ries. The use of a safety helmet is the single 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 eyes could contribute to an impairment of vision which could delay seeing a hazard.

The use of a jacket, substantial shoes, trousers, gloves, etc., is ef- fective in preventing or reducing abrasions or lacerations.

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

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

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 accesso- ries 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:

Loading The total weight of the operator, pas- senger, accessories and cargo must not exceed the maximum load limit.

Maximum load:

190 kg (419 lb)

SAFETY INFORMATION

1-3

1

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

Cargo and accessory weight should be kept as low and close to the scooter as possible. Make sure to distribute the weight as evenly as possible on both sides of the scooter to minimize imbalance or instability.

Shifting weights can create a sud- den imbalance. Make sure that ac- cessories and cargo are securely attached to the scooter before riding. Check accessory mounts and cargo restraints frequently.

Never attach any large or heavy items to the handlebar, front fork, or front fender. Such items can create unstable handling or a slow steering response.

Accessories Genuine Yamaha accessories have been specifically designed for use on this scooter. Since Yamaha cannot test all other accessories that may be avail- able, you must personally be responsi- ble 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 Load- ing when mounting accessories.

Never install accessories or carry cargo that would impair the perfor- mance 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 sus- pension travel, steering travel or control operation, or obscure lights or reflectors.

Accessories fitted to the handle- bar or the front fork area can create instability due to improper weight distribution or aerody- namic changes. If accessories are added to the handlebar or front fork area, they must be as lightweight as possible and should be kept to a minimum.

Bulky or large accessories may seriously affect the stability of the scooter due to aerodynamic

effects. Wind may attempt to lift the scooter, or the scooter may become unstable in cross winds. These accessories may also cause instability when passing or being passed by large vehicles.

Certain accessories can dis- place the operator from his or her normal riding position. This improper position limits the free- dom of movement of the opera- tor and may limit control ability, therefore, such accessories are not recommended.

Use caution when adding electri- cal accessories. If electrical acces- sories exceed the capacity of the scooters electrical system an electric failure could result, which could cause a dangerous loss of lights or engine power.

Gasoline and exhaust gas

GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMA- BLE:

Always turn the engine off when refueling.

SAFETY INFORMATION

1-4

1

Take care not to spill any gaso- line on the engine or exhaust system when refueling.

Never refuel while smoking or in the vicinity of an open flame.

Never start the engine or let it run for any length of time in a closed area. The exhaust fumes are poi- sonous and may cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time. Always operate your scooter in an area that has ade- quate ventilation.

Always turn the engine off before leaving the scooter unattended and remove the key from the main switch. When parking the scooter, note the following:

The engine and exhaust system may be hot, therefore, park the scooter in a place where pedes- trians or children are not likely to touch these hot areas.

Do not park the scooter on a slope or soft ground, otherwise it may fall over.

Do not park the scooter near a flammable source (e.g., a kero-

sene heater, or near an open flame), otherwise it could catch fire.

If you should swallow any gaso- line, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or allow gasoline to get into your eyes, see your doctor immediate- ly. If any gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash the affected area with soap and water and change your clothes.

EAU10371

Further safe-riding points

Be sure to signal clearly when making turns.

Braking can be extremely difficult on a wet road. Avoid hard braking, because the scooter could slide. Apply the brakes slowly when stopping 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 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 be- come extremely slippery when wet. Slow down and cross them with caution. Keep the scooter up- right, otherwise it could slide out from under you.

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

Always wear a helmet, gloves, trousers (tapered around the cuff

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS

EAU15591

The condition of a vehicle is the owners 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 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

EWA11150

If any item in the Pre-operation check list is not working properly, have it inspected and repaired before operating

the vehicle.

Checking the spark plug

The spark plug is an important engine component, which is easy to check. Since heat and deposits will cause any spark plug to slowly erode, the spark plug should be removed and checked in accordance with the periodic 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. Remove storage compartment B. (See page 6-21.)

2. Pull back the storage compart- ment mat as shown.

3. Remove the bolts, and then pull storage compartment C out.

4. Remove the spark plug cap.

ed in the owners tool kit.

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).

NOTE:

If the spark plug shows a distinctly dif- ferent color, the engine could be defec- tive. 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.

To install the spark plug

1. Measure the spark plug gap with a wire thickness gauge and, if nec- essary, adjust the gap to specifica- tion.

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

spark plug threads. 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 when installing a spark plug, a good estimate of the correct torque is 1/41/2 turn past finger tight. However, the spark plug should be tightened to the speci-

fied torque as soon as possible.

4. Install the spark plug cap.

NOTE:

Make sure the spark plug wire is fas-

tened in the clamp as shown.

Checking the front and rear brake pads

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

EAU22430

Front brake pads

Each front brake pad is provided with wear indicator grooves, which allow you to check the brake pad wear with- out having to disassemble the brake. To check the brake pad wear, check the wear indicator grooves. If a brake pad has worn to the point that the wear

indicator grooves have almost disap- peared, have a Yamaha dealer replace the brake pads as a set.

EAU34210

Rear brake pads

Have a Yamaha dealer check each rear 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 fluid is above the minimum level mark and replenish if necessary. A low brake fluid level may indicate worn brake pads and/or brake system leakage. If the brake fluid level is low, be sure to check the brake pads for wear and the brake system for leakage. Observe these precautions:

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

Use only the recommended quality brake fluid, otherwise the rubber seals may deteriorate, causing leakage and poor braking perfor- mance.

Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a harmful chemical reaction and lead to poor braking performance.

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

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

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

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

EAU22730

Changing the brake fluid

Have a Yamaha dealer change the brake fluid at the intervals specified in the 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 brake hoses replaced at the intervals listed below or whenever they are damaged or leaking.

Oil seals: Replace every two years.

Brake hoses: Replace every four years.

Troubleshooting

Although Yamaha scooters receive a thorough inspection before shipment from the factory, trouble may occur dur- ing 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 your- self. However, should your scooter re- quire any repair, take it to a Yamaha dealer, whose skilled technicians have the necessary tools, experience, and know-how to service the scooter prop- erly. Use only genuine Yamaha replace- ment parts. Imitation parts may look like Yamaha parts, but they are often inferi- or, have a shorter service life and can lead to expensive repair bills.

SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE

EAU26090

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 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. Fre- quent 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 in- stalled.

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 de- greaser off with water.

Cleaning

CAUTION:

ECA10780

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 af- fected area any longer than in- structed. Also, thoroughly rinse the area off with water, immedi- ately dry it, and then apply a cor- rosion protection spray.

Improper cleaning can damage windshields, cowlings, panels and other plastic parts. Use only a soft, clean cloth or sponge with mild detergent and water to clean plastic.

Do not use any harsh chemical products on plastic parts. Be sure to avoid using cloths or sponges which have been in contact with strong or abrasive cleaning products, solvent or

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 since they cause water seepage and deterioration in the following ar- eas: 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 or scratching. Some cleaning com- pounds for plastic may leave scratches on the windshield. Test the product on a small hid- den 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 cor- rosive 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 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 spray on all metal, including chrome- and nickel-plated, surfaces to prevent corrosion.

After cleaning

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

2. Use a chrome polish to shine chrome, aluminum and stain- less-steel parts, including the ex- haust system. (Even the thermally induced discoloring of stain- less-steel exhaust systems can be removed 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 damage caused 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 or wax on the brakes or tires. If necessary, clean the brake discs and brake linings with a regular brake disc cleaner or ac- etone, and wash the tires with warm water and a mild deter- gent.

Before operating the scooter test its braking performance

and cornering behavior.

CAUTION:

ECA10800

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.

Storage

Short-term

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

CAUTION:

ECA10820

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 chemi-

cals 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 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 place the spark plug on the cylinder head so that the electrodes are grounded. (This will limit spark- ing 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

EWA10950

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

the engine over.

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. Alterna- tively, 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 ex- cessively cold or warm place [less than 0 C (30 F) or more than 30 C (90 F)]. For more in- formation on storing the battery, see page 6-34.

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 thats right for you: 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 it shows in the comprehensive coverage benefits. There are no mileage limitations. Coverage isnt 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 Yamaha dealer to see how comforting uninterrupted factory- backed protection can be.

You dont have to pay anything for covered repairs. Theres no deductible to pay, and repairs arent pro-rated. You dont 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 you sell 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.
