SAFETY INFORMATION
EAU10373
Further safe-riding points●
Be sure to signal clearly when
making turns.
ZAUM00**ZAUM00**●
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 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 carrier (if equipped). A loose 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.

Checking the front brake
pads and rear brake shoesThe front brake pads and the rear
brake shoes must be checked for
wear at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.

1. Brake pad wear indicator grooveEach front brake pad is provided with
a wear indicator groove, which al-
lows you to check the brake pad wear
without having to disassemble the
brake. To check the brake pad wear,
check the wear indicator groove. If a
brake pad has worn to the point that
the wear indicator groove has almost disappeared, have a Yamaha dealer
replace the brake pads as a set.

2. Wear limit lineThe rear brake is provided with a wear
indicator, which allows you to check
the brake shoe wear without having to
disassemble the brake. To check the
brake shoe wear, check the position
of the wear indicator while applying
the brake. If a brake shoe has worn
to the point that the wear indicator
reaches the wear limit line, have a
Yamaha dealer replace the brake
shoes as a set.
