fuel reserve tripmeter mode “TRIP F”
and start counting the distance traveled
from that point. In that case, pushing
the “RESET/SELECT” button switches
the display between the various tripme-
ter and odometer modes in the follow-
ing order:
TRIP F → ODO → TRIP → TRIP FTo reset a tripmeter, select it by push-

Fuel Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10881
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow
these instructions.1. Before refueling, turn off the en-
gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters and
clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When
refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out
of the fuel tank.3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE: Immediately wipe
off spilled fuel with a clean, dry,
soft cloth, since fuel may deteri-
orate painted surfaces or plastic
parts.
[ECA10071]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel
tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15151
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gaso-
line by mouth. If you should swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or get some gasoline in
your eyes, see your doctor immedi-ately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothing, change
your clothes.
EAUM2730
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use premium unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging) oc-
curs, use a gasoline of a different
brand. Use of unleaded fuel will extend
spark plug life and reduce maintenance
costs.

Catalytic converter This model is equipped with a catalytic
converter in the exhaust system.
WARNING
EWA10862
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. To prevent a fire hazard or
burns:●
Do not park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.
●
Park the vehicle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.
●
Make sure that the exhaust sys-
tem has cooled down before do-
ing any maintenance work.
●
Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up of
heat.
NOTICE
ECA10701
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause unre-
pairable damage to the catalytic
converter.

Since the storage compartment
accumulates heat when ex-
posed to the sun and/or the en-
gine heat, do not store anything
susceptible to heat, consum-
ables or flammable items inside
it.
●
To avoid humidity from spread-
ing through the storage com-
partment, wrap wet articles in a
plastic bag before storing them
in the compartment.
●
Since the storage compartment
may get wet while the scooter is
being washed, wrap any articles
stored in the compartment in a
plastic bag.
●
Do not keep anything valuable
or breakable in the storage com-
partment.
To store a helmet in the storage com-
partment, place the helmet with the
front facing forward.TIP●
Some helmets cannot be stored in

This shock absorber assembly con-
tains highly pressurized nitrogen
gas. Read and understand the fol-
lowing information before handling
the shock absorber assembly.●
Do not tamper with or attempt to
open the cylinder assembly.

cylinder in any way. Cylinder
damage will result in poor
damping performance.
●
Do not dispose of a damaged or
worn-out shock absorber as-
sembly yourself. Take the shock
