EAU10242

Be a Responsible Owner As the vehicles owner, you are respon- sible for the safe and proper operation of your scooter. Scooters are single-track vehicles. Their safe use and operation are de- pendent 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:

Obtain thorough instructions from a competent source on all aspects of scooter operation.

Observe the warnings and main- tenance requirements in this Owners Manual.

Obtain qualified training in safe and proper riding techniques.

Obtain professional technical ser- vice as indicated in this Owners Manual and/or when made neces- sary by mechanical conditions.

Safe Riding Perform the pre-operation checks each time you use the vehicle to make sure it is in safe operating condition. Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident or equipment damage. See page 4-2for a list of pre-operation checks.

This scooter is designed to carry the operator only. No passengers.

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 you

are approaching and passing through intersections, since

intersections 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 quali-

fied and that you only lend your scooter to other qualified operators.

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

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.

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 undercornering (insufficient lean angle for the speed). Always obey the speed limit

and never travel faster than warranted by road and traffic conditions.

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

The posture of the operator is im- portant for proper control. The op- erator should keep both hands on the handlebar and both feet on the operator footrests during operation to maintain control of the scooter.

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 injuries. The use of a safety helmet is the single most critical factor in the prevention 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 vi- sion that could delay seeing a haz- ard.

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.

Always wear protective clothing that covers your legs, ankles, and feet. The engine or exhaust system become very hot during or after operation and can cause burns.

Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning All engine exhaust contains carbon

monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing car- bon monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confu- sion, and eventually death. Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odor- less, tasteless gas which may be present even if you do not see or smell any engine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly and you can quickly be overcome and un- able to save yourself. Also, deadly lev- els of carbon monoxide can linger for hours or days in enclosed or poorly ven- tilated areas. If you experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide poison- ing, leave the area immediately, get fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREAT- MENT.

Do not run engine indoors. Even if you try to ventilate engine exhaust with fans or open windows and doors, carbon monoxide can rap- idly reach dangerous levels.

Do not run engine in poorly venti- lated or partially enclosed areas such as barns, garages, or car-

ports. Do not run engine outdoors where

engine exhaust can be drawn into a building through openings such as windows and doors.

Loading 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 acces- sories to your scooter. Use extra care when riding a scooter that has added cargo or accessories. Here, along with the information about accessories be- low, are some general guidelines to fol- low if loading cargo to your scooter:

The total weight of the operator, ac- cessories and cargo must not ex- ceed the maximum load limit. Opera- tion of an overloaded vehicle could cause an accident.

Maximum load: 77 kg (170 lb)

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. Securely pack your heaviest items as close to the center of the vehicle as pos- sible and make sure to distribute the weight as evenly as possible on both sides of the scooter to mini- mize 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. Properly adjust the suspension

for your load (suspension- adjustable models only), and check the condition and pressure of your tires.

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.

This vehicle is not designed to pull a trailer or to be attached to a sidecar.

Genuine Yamaha Accessories Choosing accessories for your vehicle is an important decision. Genuine Yamaha accessories, which are avail- able only from a Yamaha dealer, have been designed, tested, and approved by Yamaha for use on your vehicle. Many companies with no connection to Yamaha manufacture parts and acces- sories or offer other modifications for Yamaha vehicles. Yamaha is not in a position to test the products that these aftermarket companies produce. There- fore, Yamaha can neither endorse nor recommend the use of accessories not sold by Yamaha or modifications not specifically recommended by Yamaha,

even if sold and installed by a Yamaha dealer.

Aftermarket Parts, Accessories, and Modifications While you may find aftermarket prod- ucts similar in design and quality to genuine Yamaha accessories, recog- nize that some aftermarket accessories or modifications are not suitable be- cause of potential safety hazards to you or others. Installing aftermarket prod- ucts or having other modifications per- formed to your vehicle that change any of the vehicles design or operation char- acteristics can put you and others at greater risk of serious injury or death. You are responsible for injuries related to changes in the vehicle. 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 us- ing it to make sure that it does not

in any way reduce ground clear- ance or cornering clearance, limit suspension travel, steering travel or control operation, or obscure lights or reflectors. 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.

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.

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 recom- mended.

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.

Aftermarket Tires and Rims The tires and rims that came with your scooter were designed to match the performance capabilities and to provide the best combination of handling, brak- ing, and comfort. Other tires, rims, sizes, and combinations may not be appropri- ate. Refer to page 6-14 for tire specifi- cations and more information on replac- ing your tires.

Further safe-riding points Make 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 stop- ping 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 become extremely slippery when wet. Slow down and cross them with caution. Keep the scooter upright, otherwise it could slide out from under you.

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

Always wear a helmet, gloves, trou- sers (tapered around the cuff and ankle so they do not flap), and a bright colored jacket.

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.)

Use only unleaded gasoline. The use of leaded gasoline will cause severe damage to internal engine parts, such as the valves and piston rings, as well as to the exhaust system.

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: gaso- hol containing ethanol and that contain- ing methanol. Gasohol containing etha- nol can be used if the ethanol content does not exceed 10% (E10). Gasohol containing methanol is not recom- mended by Yamaha because it can cause damage to the fuel system or vehicle performance problems.

Engine break-in There is never a more important period in the life of your engine than the period between 0 and 1000 km (600 mi). For this reason, you should read the follow- ing material carefully.

Since the engine is brand new, do not put an excessive load on it for the first 1000 km (600 mi). The various parts in the engine wear and polish themselves to the correct operating clearances. Dur- ing this period, prolonged full-throttle operation or any condition that might result in engine overheating must be avoided.

Fuel consumption, tips for reducing

Engine break-in

EAU16820

Tips for reducing fuel con- sumption Fuel consumption depends largely on your riding style. Consider the following tips to reduce fuel consumption:

Avoid high engine speeds during acceleration.

Avoid high engine speeds with no load on the engine.

Turn the engine off instead of let- ting it idle for an extended length of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traf- fic lights or at railroad crossings).

EAU16951

0 ~ 150 km (0 ~ 90 mi) Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3 throttle. After every hour of operation, stop the engine, and then let it cool for five to ten minutes.

Vary the engine speed from time to time. Do not operate the engine at one set throttle position.

150 ~ 500 km (90 ~ 300 mi) Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2 throttle. Rev the engine freely through the gears, but do not use full throttle at any time.

500 ~ 1000 km (300 ~ 600 mi) Avoid prolonged operation above 3/4 throttle. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600 mi) of operation, the engine oil must be changed and the oil strainer cleaned.[ECA10351]

1000 km (600 mi) and beyond Avoid prolonged full-throttle operation. Vary the speed occasionally.

4. Remove the spark plug as shown, with a spark plug wrench available at a Yamaha dealer.

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).

TIP If the spark plug shows a distinctly dif-

ferent color, the engine could be operat- ing improperly. Do not attempt to diag- nose 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 nec- essary.

Specified spark plug: CR7E (NGK)

To install the spark plug 1. Measure the spark plug gap with a

wire thickness gauge and, if nec- essary, adjust the gap to specifi- cation.

Spark plug gap: 0.7 ~ 0.8 mm (0.028 ~ 0.031 in)

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 tighten it to

the specified torque.

Tightening torque: Spark plug:

13 Nm (1.3 m kgf, 9.4 ft lbf)

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

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 rep- resent quick and easy procedures 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 ser- vice the scooter properly.

Use only genuine Yamaha replacement parts. Imitation parts may look like Yamaha parts, but they are often infe- rior, have a shorter service life and can lead to expensive repair bills.

Troubleshooting

NOTICE

Some models are equipped with matte colored finished parts. Be sure to consult a Yamaha dealer for ad- vice on what products to use before cleaning the vehicle. Using a brush, harsh chemical prod- ucts or cleaning compounds when cleaning these parts will scratch or damage their surface. Wax also should not be applied to any matte colored finished parts.

EAU26092

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 look- ing good, extend its life and optimize its performance.

Before cleaning 1. Cover the muffler outlet with a plas-

tic bag after the engine has cooled down.

2. Make sure that all caps and cov- ers 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 prod-

ucts onto seals, gaskets and wheel axles. Always rinse the dirt and degreaser off with water.

Cleaning ECA10781

NOTICE

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 plastic parts such as cowlings, panels, windshields, headlight lenses, meter lenses, etc. 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 con- tact with strong or abrasive clean- ing products, solvent or thinner, fuel (gasoline), rust removers or inhibitors, brake fluid, antifreeze or electrolyte.

Do not use high-pressure wash- ers 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, instru- ments, 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 wash- ing.

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.

TIP 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. NOTICE: Do not use warm water since it increases the corrosive action of the salt.[ECA10791]

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 stainless- steel parts, including the exhaust system. (Even the thermally in- duced discoloring of stainless-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, includ- ing chrome- and nickel-plated, sur- faces.

Storage

EAU26301

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

ECA10820

NOTICE

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 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 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.) WARNING! To prevent damage or injury from sparking, make sure to ground the spark plug electrodes while turning the engine over.[EWA10951]

e. Remove the spark plug cap from the spark plug, and then install the spark plug and the spark plug cap.

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. Alterna- tively, 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 plas- tic bag to prevent moisture from en- tering it.

8. 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 information

on storing the battery, see page 6- 20.

TIP Make any necessary repairs before storing the scooter.

CONSUMER INFORMATION Warranty, extended

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.
