SAFETY INFORMATION
Aftermarket Parts, Accessories,
and Modi cations
While you may fi nd aftermarket prod-
ucts similar in design and quality to
genuine Yamaha accessories, recog-
nize that some aftermarket accesso-
ries or modifications are not suitable
because of potential safety hazards
to you or others. Installing aftermarket
products or having other modifi cations
performed to your vehicle that change
any of the vehicle’s design or opera-
tion characteristics can put you and
others at greater risk of serious injury
or death. You are responsible for inju-
ries related to changes in the vehicle.
Keep the following guidelines in mind,
as well as those provided under
“Loading” when mounting accesso-
ries.●
Never install accessories or carry
cargo that would impair the per-
formance of your scooter. Care-
fully inspect the accessory before
using it to make sure that it does
not in any way reduce ground
clearance or cornering clearance,
limit suspension travel, steering travel or control operation, or ob-
scure lights or refl ectors.
• Accessories fitted to the han-
dlebar or the front fork area can
create instability due to improp-
er 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
freedom of movement of the
operator and may limit control
ability, therefore, such acces-sories are not recommended.
●
Use caution when adding electri-
cal accessories. If electrical ac-
cessories 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.
Aftermarket Tires and Rims
The tires and rims that came with your
scooter were designed to match the
performance capabilities and to pro-
vide the best combination of handling,
braking, and comfort. Other tires,
rims, sizes, and combinations may not
be appropriate. Refer to page 6-17 for
tire specifications and more informa-
tion on replacing your tires.
Transporting the Scooter
Be sure to observe following instruc-
tions before transporting the scooter
in another vehicle.
●
Remove all loose items from the
scooter.
●
Point the front wheel straight
ahead on the trailer or in the truck

EAU45371
Further safe-riding points●
Make sure to signal clearly when
making turns.
●
Braking can be extremely diffi cult
on a wet road. Avoid hard brak-
ing, because the scooter could
slide. Apply the brakes slowly
when stopping on a wet surface.
●
Slow down as you approach a
corner or turn. Once you have
completed 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 con-
struction sites, and manhole
covers become extremely slip-
pery when wet. Slow down and
cross them with caution. Keep the
scooter upright, otherwise it could
slide out from under you.
●
The brake pads and linings
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
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.) bed, and choke it in a rail to pre-
vent movement.
●
Secure the scooter with tie-downs
or suitable straps that are at-
tached to solid parts of the scoot-
er, such as the frame or upper
front fork triple clamp (and not, for
example, to rubber-mounted han-
dlebars or turn signals, or parts
that could break). Choose the
location for the straps carefully
so the straps will not rub against
painted surfaces during transport.
●
The suspension should be com-
pressed somewhat by the tie-
downs, if possible, so that the
scooter will not bounce exces-
sively during transport.

WARNING
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
multi-function display. Changing
settings while riding can distract
the operator and increase the risk
of an accident.
The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:● an odometer● a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since
the bottom segment of the fuel
meter and fuel level warning indi-
cator started fl ashing)● two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were
last set to zero)● an oil change tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since
the last engine oil change)● an oil change indicator (which dis-
plays when the engine oil should
be changed)● a V-belt replacement tripmeter
(which shows the distance trav-
eled since the V-belt was last re-
placed)● a V-belt replacement indicator● an ambient temperature display● a clock● a fuel meter

TIP● When the key is turned to “ON”,
all segments and indicators of the
display come on for a few sec-
onds. During this time, the multi-
function display is performing a
self-test.● Be sure to turn the key to “ON”
before using the “SELECT” and
“RESET” buttons except when
setting the brightness mode.
Odometer, fuel tripmeter, tripme-
ters, oil change tripmeter and V-belt
tripmeter modes
Pushing the “SELECT” button switch-
es the display among the odometer
mode “ODO”, the fuel tripmeter mode
“F”, the tripmeter modes “TRIP 1”
and “TRIP 2”, the oil change tripme-
ter mode “OIL TRIP” and the V-belt
change mode “BELT TRIP” in the fol-
lowing order:
ODO → F → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → OIL
TRIP → BELT TRIP → ODO
When approximately 1.6 L (0.42 US
gal, 0.35 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in
the fuel tank, the bottom segment of
the fuel meter and fuel level warn-
ing indicator will start flashing, and
the display will automatically change
to the fuel reserve tripmeter mode
“ F” and start counting the distance
traveled from that point. In that case,
pushing the “RESET” button switches
the display to the previous mode.
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button until “Trip” or
“Trip F” begins fl ashing (“Trip” or “Trip
F” will only flash for five seconds).
While “Trip” or “Trip F” is flashing,
push the “RESET” button for at least
one second. If you do not reset the
fuel reserve tripmeter manually, it will
reset itself automatically and the dis-
play will return to the prior mode after
refueling and traveling 5 km (3 mi).TIPThe display cannot be changed back
to fuel reserve tripmeter “ F” after
pushing the “RESET” button.
OdometerTIP● For the U.K.: For any mode, the
odometer units can be switched
from kilometers to miles by push-
ing the “SELECT” button for 1
second.● If the odometer indicates “-----”,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
multi-function display, as it may
be faulty.
Tripmeters
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button until “TRIP
1” or “TRIP 2” is displayed, and then
push the “RESET” button for at least 1
second.
TIPIf the tripmeter indicates “-----”, have
a Yamaha dealer check the multi-
function display, as it may be faulty.
