headlight bulb to keep it free from
oil, otherwise the transparency of
the glass, the luminosity of the bulb,
and the bulb life will be adversely
affected. Thoroughly clean off any
dirt and fingerprints on the headlight
bulb using a cloth moistened with
alcohol or thinner.

SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE
7
•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
removers or inhibitors, brake
fluid, antifreeze or electrolyte.
•Do not use high-pressure
washers 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, 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
compounds for plastic may
leave scratches on the
windshield. Test the product on
a small hidden 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
engine has cooled down.
ECA00012
Do not use warm water since it
increases the corrosive action of the
salt.
2. Apply a corrosion protection spray
on all metal, including chrome-
and nickel-plated, surfaces to
prevent corrosion.
CAUTION:

SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE
7After 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
induced discoloring of stainless-
steel exhaust systems can be
removed through polishing.)
3. To prevent corrosion, it is
recommended to apply a corro-
sion protection spray on all metal,
including chrome- and nickel-
plated, surfaces.
4. Use spray oil as a universal
cleaner 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
before storing or covering it.
EWA00002
•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 acetone,
and wash the tires with warm
water and a mild detergent.
•Before operating the scooter
test its braking performance and
cornering behavior.
ECA00013
•Apply spray oil and wax sparingly
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.
NOTE :
Consult a Yamaha dealer for advice on
what products to use.
Storage
Short-term
Always store your scooter in a cool, dry
place and, if necessary, protect it
against dust with a porous cover.
ECA00015
•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.
