ODO → TRIP → ODO
If the fuel level warning indicator
comes on (see page 3-2), the odome-
ter display will automatically change to
the fuel reserve tripmeter mode “TRIP
F” and start counting the distance trav-
eled from that point. In that case, push-
ing the “RESET/SELECT“ button
switches the display between the vari-
ous tripmeter and odometer modes in
the following order:
TRIP F → ODO → TRIP → TRIP FTo reset a tripmeter, select it by push-

Oil change indicator “OIL CHANGE”
This indicator comes on at the initial
1000 km (600 mi), then at 3000 km
(1800 mi) and every 3000 km (1800 mi)
thereafter to indicate that the engine oil
should be changed. (See page 6-9)
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-

circuit.
If a problem is detected in the fuel elec-
trical circuit, all LCD segments of the
fuel gauge and the fuel level warning
indicator will flash alternately. If this oc-

Fuel tank capTo remove the fuel tank cap
1. Open the passenger seat. (See
page 3-11.)
2. Turn the fuel tank cap counter-
clockwise and pull it off.
To install the fuel tank cap
1. Insert the fuel tank cap into the
tank opening and turn it clock-
wise.
2. Close the passenger seat.
WARNING
EWA11092
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.
EAU13222
FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
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
deteriorate painted surfaces or
plastic parts.

4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gasoline
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.
EAU54601
NOTICE
ECA11401
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 de-
signed to use premium unleaded gas-
oline with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different
brand. Use of unleaded fuel will extend
spark plug life and reduce mainte-
nance costs.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that con-
taining methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-
tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-
ohol containing methanol is not
recommended by Yamaha because it
can cause damage to the fuel system
or vehicle performance problems.

Catalytic converterThis model is equipped with a catalytic
converter in the exhaust system.
WARNING
EWA10863
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
doing 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
ECA10702
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause unre-
pairable damage to the catalytic
converter.

Do not exceed the load limit of 3
kg (7 lb) for the storage com-
partment.
Do not exceed the maximum
load of 182 kg (401 lb) for the ve-
hicle.NOTICE
ECA10082

when using the storage compart-
ment.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
compartment.
To store a helmet in the storage com-
partment, place the helmet with the
front facing forward.TIPSome helmets cannot be stored in
the storage compartment be-
cause of their size or shape.
