Ó
This indicator light comes on at the
initial 1,000 km and every 3,000 km
thereafter to indicate that the engine
oil should be changed.
After changing the engine oil, reset
the oil change indicator light.(See
page 6-17 for the resetting proce-
dure.)The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked according to the
following procedure.
1.Set the engine stop switch to Ò#Ó
and turn the key to ÒONÓ.
2.Check that the indicator comes
on for a few seconds and then
goes off.
If the indicator light does not
come on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
NOTE:
The oil change indicator light may
flash when the engine is revved with
the scooter on the centerstand, but
this does not indicate a malfunction.

Self-diagnosis deviceThis model is equipped with a self-
diagnosis device for the throttle posi-
tion sensor, oil change indicator light,
speedometer unit circuits. If any of
those circuits are defective, the oil
change indicator light will flash.
If the indicator light flashes or comes
on, have a Yamaha dealer check the
motorcycle as soon as possible.NOTE:
The oil change indicator light may
flash when the engine is revved with
the scooter on the centerstand, but
this does not indicate a malfunction.

Speedometer unit The speedometer unit is equipped
with a speedometer, an odometer
and a tripmeter. The speedometer
shows riding speed. The odometer
shows the total distance traveled.
The tripmeter shows the distance
traveled since it was last set to zero.
Pushing the ÒTRIPÓ button switches
the display between the odometer
mode ÒODOÓ and the tripmeter mode
ÒTRIPÓ. To reset the tripmeter, enter
the ÒTRIPÓ mode, and then hold downthe ÒTRIPÓ button for at least one
second. The tripmeter can be used
together with the fuel gauge to esti-
mate the distance that can be trav-
eled with a full tank of fuel. This infor-
mation will enable you to plan future
fuel stops.INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS

SidestandThe sidestand is located on the left
side of the frame. Raise the side-
stand or lower it with your foot while
holding the scooter upright.NOTE:
The built-in sidestand switch is part of
the ignition circuit cut-off system,
which cuts the ignition in certain situ-
ations. (See further down for an
explanation of the ignition circuit cut-
off system.)
EAU00337
Ignition circuit cut-off
systemThe ignition circuit cut-off system
(comprising the sidestand switch and
brake light switches) has the follow-
ing functions.
8It prevents starting when the
sidestand is up, but neither brake
is applied.
8It prevents starting when either
brake is applied, but the side-
stand is still down.
8It cuts the running engine when
the sidestand is moved down.
Periodically check the operation of
the ignition circuit cut-off system
according to the following procedure.
EW000045
wIf a malfunction is noted, have a
Yamaha dealer check the system
before riding.
EW000044
wThe scooter must not be ridden
with the sidestand down, or if the
sidestand cannot be properly
moved up (or does not stay up),
otherwise the sidestand could con-
tact the ground and distract the
operator, resulting in a possible
loss of control. YamahaÕs ignition
circuit cut-off system has been
designed to assist the operator in
fulfilling the responsibility of rais-
ing the sidestand before starting
off. Therefore, check this system
regularly as described below and
have a Yamaha dealer repair it if it
does not function properly.

Engine break-inThere is never a more important peri-
od in the life of your engine than the
period between 0 and 1,600 km. For
this reason, you should read the fol-
lowing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do
not put an excessive load on it for the
first 1,600 km. The various parts in
the engine wear and polish them-
selves to the correct operating clear-
ances. During this period, prolonged
full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overheat-
ing must be avoided.
EAU03093
Tips for reducing fuel
consumptionFuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
8Thoroughly warm up the engine.
8Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
8Avoid high engine speeds with
no load on the engine.
8Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at
traffic lights or at railroad cross-
ings).

9To check the spark plug
1.Check that the porcelain insula-
tor around the center electrode
of the spark plug is a medium-to-
light tan (the ideal color when the
scooter is ridden normally).
NOTE:
If the spark plug shows a distinctly
different color, the engine could be
defective. Do not attempt to diagnose
such problems yourself. Instead,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
scooter.2.Check the spark plug for elec-
trode erosion and excessive car-
bon 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
necessary, adjust the gap to
specification.
2.Clean the surface of the spark
plug gasket and its mating sur-
face, 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. Specified spark plug:

NOTE:
If a torque wrench is not available
when installing a spark plug, a good
estimate of the correct torque is
1/4Ð1/2 turn past finger tight.
However, the spark plug should be
tightened to the specified torque as
soon as possible.4.Install the spark plug cap.
5.Install the cowling. Tightening torque:
Spark plug:
17.5 Nm (1.75 m0kg)

Engine oilThe engine oil level should be
checked before each ride. In addition,
the oil must be changed at the inter-
vals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart and when
the oil change indicator light comes
on.To check the engine oil level
1.Place the scooter on the center-
stand.
NOTE:
Make sure that the scooter is posi-
tioned straight up when checking the
oil level. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.2.Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.

leaking, immediately turn the
engine off and check for the
cause.
