Safety information
1-3
1Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing
carbon monoxide can cause head-
aches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea,
confusion, and eventually death.
Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odor-
less, tasteless gas which may be pres-
ent even if you do not see or smell any
engine exhaust. Deadly levels of car-
bon monoxide can collect rapidly and
you can quickly be overcome and un-
able to save yourself. Also, deadly lev-
els of carbon monoxide can linger for
hours or days in enclosed or poorly
ventilated areas. If you experience any
symptoms of carbon monoxide poi-
soning, leave the area immediately, get
fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREAT-
MENT.
Do not run engine indoors. Even if
you try to ventilate engine exhaust
with fans or open windows and
doors, carbon monoxide can rap-
idly reach dangerous levels.
Do not run engine in poorly venti-
lated or partially enclosed areas
such as barns, garages, or car-
ports.Do not run engine outdoors where
engine exhaust can be drawn into
a building through openings such
as windows and doors.
Loading
Adding accessories or cargo to your
scooter can adversely affect stability
and handling if the weight distribution
of the scooter is changed. To avoid the
possibility of an accident, use extreme
caution when adding cargo or acces-
sories to your scooter. Use extra care
when riding a scooter that has added
cargo or accessories. Here, along with
the information about accessories be-
low, are some general guidelines to fol-
low if loading cargo to your scooter:
The total weight of the operator, pas-
senger, accessories and cargo must
not exceed the maximum load limit.
Operation of an overloaded vehicle
could cause an accident.
When loading within this weight limit,
keep the following in mind:Cargo and accessory weight
should be kept as low and close to
the scooter as possible. Securely
pack your heaviest items as close
to the center of the vehicle as pos-
sible and make sure to distribute
the weight as evenly as possible
on both sides of the scooter to
minimize imbalance or instability.
Shifting weights can create a sud-
den imbalance. Make sure that
accessories and cargo are se-
curely attached to the scooter be-
fore riding. Check accessory
mounts and cargo restraints fre-
quently.
• Properly adjust the suspension
for your load (suspension-ad-
justable models only), and
check the condition and pres-
sure of your tires.
• Never attach any large or heavy
items to the handlebar, front
fork, or front fender. Such items
can create unstable handling or
a slow steering response.
This vehicle is not designed to
pull a trailer or to be attached to
a sidecar.
Maximum load:
182 kg (401 lb)

accident.The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
a digital clock
a digital speedometer (which
shows riding speed)
an odometer (which shows the to-
tal distance traveled)
a tripmeter (which shows the dis-
tance traveled since it was last set
to zero)
a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled on
the fuel reserve)
an oil change indicator (which
shows when the engine oil should
be changed)

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-
ments of the fuel gauge disappear to-
wards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When only two segments
are left near “E”, the fuel level warning
indicator comes on. Refuel as soon as
possible.
TIPThe display segment containing the
ly and is not an indicator of fuel level in
the fuel tank.Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-di-
agnosis device for the fuel electrical
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-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.

wash with soap and water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothing, change
your clothes.
EAU75320
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.
TIP
This mark identifies the recom-
mended fuel for this vehicle as
specified by European regulation
(EN228).
Check that gasoline nozzle has
the same identifier when fueling.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.
Recommended fuel:
Premium unleaded gasoline (Gaso-
hol (E10) acceptable)
Fuel tank capacity:
6.0 L (1.58 US gal, 1.32 Imp.gal)
Fuel reserve amount (when the fuel
level warning light comes on):
1.0 L (0.26 US gal, 0.22 Imp.gal)
