SAFETY INFORMATION

TWO-WHEELED SCOOTERS ARE SINGLE TRACK VEHICLES. THEIR SAFE USE AND OPERATION ARE DEPENDENT UPON THE USE OF PROPER RIDING TECHNIQUES AS WELL AS THE EXPER- TISE 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 OPERATION.

2. OBSERVE THE WARNINGS AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. 3. OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING IN SAFE AND PROPER RIDING TECHNIQUES. 4. OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECHNICAL SERVICE AS INDICATED BY THE OWNERS 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 only. No passengers. 3. 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 conspicuous appears to be very effective in reducing the chance of this type of accident.

Therefore: a. Wear a brightly colored jacket. b. Use extra caution when you approach and pass through intersections, since intersections are the

most likely places for scooter accidents. c. Ride where other motorists can see you. Avoid riding in another motorists blind spot.

SAFETY INFORMATION

4. Many accidents involve inexperienced operators. In fact, many operators who have been involved in accidents do not even have a current drivers license. a. Make sure you are qualified. Also, only lend your scooter to experienced 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 be-

come thoroughly familiar with your scooter and all of its controls. 5. Many scooter accidents have been caused by scooter operator errors. A typical error made by the op-

erator is veering wide on a turn due to EXCESSIVE SPEED or undercornering (insufficient lean angle for the speed). a. Always obey the speed limits and never travel faster than warranted by road and traffic conditions. b. Always signal before turning or changing lanes. Make sure other motorists see you.

6. The operators posture is important for proper control. The operator should keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the footboard during operation to maintain control of the scooter.

7. Never ride under the influence of alcohol or 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. 2. Wear a face shield or goggles. Wind on your unprotected eyes could contribute to an impairment of vi-

sion which could delay seeing a hazard. 3. The use of substantial shoes, jacket, trousers, gloves, etc. is effective in preventing or reducing abra-

sions or lacerations.

SAFETY INFORMATION

/Net/layout8/layout_G2/work/Imai_work/OM-PS/AC9038_CY50M-19/English/E-1.frame

4. Never wear loose fitting clothing. It could catch on the control levers or wheels and cause injury or ac- cident.

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.

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 distri- bution of the machine 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, accessories and cargo must not exceed the maximum load limit of 165 lb. (75 kg).

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 dis- tribute the weight as evenly as possible on both sides of the machine to minimize imbalance or insta- bility.

R

1-4

SAFETY INFORMATION

/Net/layout8/layout_G2/work/Imai_work/OM-PS/AC9038_CY50M-19/English/E-1.frame

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.

Accessories

Genuine Yamaha accessories have been specifically designed for use on this scooter. Since Yamaha cannot test all other accessories which may be available, you must personally be responsible for the prop- er selection, installation and use of non-Yamaha accessories. You should use extreme caution when se- lecting and installing any accessories.

Keep in mind these guidelines for mounting accessories in addition to those provided under LOADING.

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 re- flectors. 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 ef- fects. 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.

L

1-5

SAFETY INFORMATION

/Net/layout8/layout_G2/work/Imai_work/OM-PS/AC9038_CY50M-19/English/E-1.frame

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

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 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 poi- sonous 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 system may be hot. Park the scooter in a place where pedestrians or chil-

dren 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 eyes,

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

EAU00023

Further safe riding points for this model 1. Be sure to signal clearly in the following instances:

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. Street car rails, iron plates on road construction sites, and man-hole covers become extremely slippery

when wet. Slow down and cross them with caution. Keep the scooter upright. It could slide out from un- der 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. Refer to SAFETY INFORMATION for instructions about carrying luggage. Use a strong cord to secure any luggage to the luggage racks. A loose load will affect the stability of the scooter and could divert your attention from the road.

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 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.

Recommended fuel: UNLEADED FUEL

Fuel tank capacity: Total:

3.5 L (0.77 Imp gal, 0.93 US gal)

Gasohol There are two types of gasohol; gaso- hol containing ethanol and that contain- ing methanol. Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if ethanol content does not exceed 10%. Gasohol con- taining methanol is not recommended by Yamaha because it can cause fuel system damage or vehicle perfor- mance problems.

Engine break-in There is never a more important period in the life of your scooter than the peri- od between zero and 1,000 km (600 mi). For this reason we ask that you carefully read the following materi- al. 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 oper- ating clearances. During this period, prolonged full throttle operation, or any condition which might result in exces- sive heating of the engine, must be avoided.

EAU00456

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 opera- tion. Vary the speed of the scooter from time to time. Do not operate it at one set throttle position. 150 ~ 500 km (90 ~ 300 mi) Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2 throttle.

EC000061

CAUTION:

After 500 km (300 mi) of operation, be sure to replace the transmission oil.

500 ~ 1,000 km (300 ~ 600 mi) Avoid cruising speeds in excess of 3/4 throttle. 1,000 km (600 mi) and beyond Avoid prolonged full throttle operation. Vary speeds occasionally.

1. Spark plug gap

EAU01651

Spark plug inspection The spark plug is an important engine component and should be inspected periodically, preferably by a Yamaha dealer. The condition of the spark plug can indicate the condition of the en- gine. The ideal color on the white insu- lator around the center electrode is a medium-to-light tan color for a scooter that is being ridden normally. Do not at- tempt to diagnose any problems your- self. Instead, take the scooter to a Yamaha dealer. The spark plug should be periodically removed and inspected because heat and deposits will cause the spark plug to slowly break down

and erode. If electrode erosion be- comes excessive, or if carbon and oth- er deposits are excessive, the spark plug should be replaced with the speci- fied plug.

Before installing the spark plug, mea- sure the electrode gap with a wire thickness gauge and adjust it to speci- fication.

When installing the plug, the gasket surface should always be cleaned and a new gasket used. Any grime should be wiped off from the threads and the spark plug tightened to the specified torque.

Specified spark plug: BR7HS (NGK)

Spark plug gap: 0.5 ~ 0.6 mm (0.020 ~ 0.024 in)

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

Tightening torque: Spark plug:

20 Nm (2.0 mkg, 14 ftlb)

Tires Check both front and rear tire pres- sures. Also check for nails, fragments of glass, or stones embedded in the tire treads. Check the run-out of each tire rim, and recondition as necessary. Ask a Yamaha dealer, if required.

EW000089

l Proper loading is important for several characteristics of your scooter; such as handling, braking, performance and safe- ty. NEVER OVERLOAD YOUR SCOOTER. Make sure the total weight of the cargo, rider, and accessories (fairing, saddle- bags, etc. if approved for this model) does not exceed the maximum load of the scooter. Operation of an overloaded scooter could cause tire dam- age, an accident, or even injury.

l Improper tire pressure greatly affects 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 com- fort. In addition, scooter stabili- ty will be poor when making 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.

Troubleshooting Although Yamaha scooters receive a rigid inspection before shipment from the factory, trouble may occur during operation. Any problem in the fuel, compression, or ignition systems can cause poor starting and loss of power. The trouble- shooting 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 ex- pensive repair bills.

A. CLEANING Frequent, thorough cleaning of your scooter will not only enhance its ap- pearance 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 plas- tic bag and strong rubber band may be used.

b. Make sure the spark plug and all filler caps are properly installed.

2. If the engine case is excessively greasy, apply degreaser with a paint brush. Do not apply degreas- er to wheel axles.

3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a garden hose. Use only enough pressure to do the job.

EC000111

CAUTION:

Excessive hose pressure may cause water seepage and deterioration of wheel bearings, front fork, brakes, transmission seals and electrical parts. Many expensive repair bills have re- sulted from improper high pressure detergent applications such as those available in coin-operated car washers.

4. After riding on salted roads, wash the scooter with cold water imme- diately. Do not use warm water as it increases the chemical reaction of the salt.

5. Once the majority of the dirt has been hosed off, wash all surfaces with warm water and mild, deter- gent-type soap. An old toothbrush or bottle brush is handy for hard- to-get-at places.

6. Rinse the scooter off immediately with clean water and dry all surfac- es with a chamois, clean towel, or soft absorbent cloth.

7. Clean the seat with a vinyl uphol- stery cleaner to keep the cover pli- able and glossy.

8. Automotive-type wax may be ap- plied to all painted and chrome- plated surfaces. Avoid combina- tion 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.

B. STORAGE Long term storage (60 days or more) of your scooter will require some preven- tive procedures to guard against deteri- oration. After thoroughly cleaning the scooter, prepare for storage as follows:

1. Fill the fuel tank with fuel and fuel stabilizer (if available).

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. Turn the engine over several times (with the ignition off) to coat the cylinder wall with oil.

EW000126

When using the starter motor to crank the engine, remove the spark plug wire, and ground it to prevent sparking.

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 at- mosphere, 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 fully charge it. Store it in a cool, dry place and recharge it once a month. Do not store the battery in an excessively warm or cold place (less than 0C (30F) or more than 30C (90F)). See page 6-11 for battery storage precautions.

Make any necessary repairs before storing the scooter.

WARRANTY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q. What costs are my responsibility during the warranty period? A. The customers responsibility includes all costs of normal maintenance services, non-

warranty repairs, accident and collision damages, and oil, oil filters, air filters, spark plugs, and brake shoes.

Q. What are some examples of abnormal strain, neglect, or abuse? A. These terms are general and overlap each other in areas. Specific examples include:

Running the machine out of oil, sustained high-rpm, full-throttle, operating the machine with a broken or damaged part which causes another part to fail, damage or failure due to improper or careless transportation and or tie down. If you have any specific questions on operation or maintenance, please contact your dealer for advice.

Q. Does the warranty cover incidental costs such as towing or transportation due to a failure?

A. No. The warranty is limited to repair of the machine itself.

Q. May I perform any or all of the recommended maintenance shown in the Owners Manual instead of having the dealer do them?

A. Yes, if you are a qualified mechanic and follow the procedures specified in the Owners and Service Manual. We do recommend, however, that items requiring special tools or equipment be done by Yamaha Riva dealer.

Q. Will the warranty be void or cancelled if I do not operate or maintain my new Riva exactly as specified in the Owners Manual?

A. No. The warranty on a new Riva cannot be voided or cancelled. However, if a

particular failure is caused by operation or maintenance other than as shown in the

Owners Manual, that failure may not be covered under warranty.

Q. What responsibility does my dealer have under this warranty? A. Each Yamaha Riva dealer is expected to:

1. Completely set up every new machine before sale. 2. Explain the operation, maintenance, and warranty requirements to your satisfa-

ction at the time of sale, and upon your request at any later date. 3. Each Yamaha Riva dealer is held responsible for his setup, service and

warranty repair work.

Q. Is the warranty transferable to second owners? A. Yes. The remainder of the existing warranty can be transferred upon request. The

unit has to be inspected and re-registered by an authorized Yamaha Riva dealer for the policy to remain effective.
