The main switch/steering lock controls
the ignition and lighting systems, and
is used to lock the steering. The vari-
ous positions are described below.TIPThe main switch/steering lock is
equipped with a keyhole cover. (See
page 3-2.)
EAUT1971
ON
All electrical circuits are supplied with
power; the meter lighting, taillight, and
auxiliary lights come on, and the en-
gine can be started. The key cannot
be removed.
TIPThe headlight comes on automatically
when the engine is started and stays
on until the key is turned to “OFF” or
the sidestand is moved down.
EAU10661
OFF
All electrical systems are off. The key
can be removed.
EWA10061
WARNING
Never turn the key to “OFF” or
“LOCK” while the vehicle is mov-
ing. Otherwise the electrical sys-
tems will be switched off, which
may result in loss of control or an
accident.

vicinity of sparks, open fl ames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfi ll the fuel tank. When
refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank fi ll-
er hole. Stop fi lling 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 im-
mediately.
NOTICE:
Immedi-
ately wipe off spilled fuel with a
clean, dry, soft cloth, since fuel
may deteriorate painted sur-
faces or plastic parts.[ECA10071]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel
tank cap.
EWA15151
WARNING
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle
gasoline with care. Never siphon
gasoline by mouth. If you should
swallow some gasoline or inhale a
lot of gasoline vapor, or get some
gasoline in your eyes, see your
doctor immediately. If gasoline
spills on your skin, wash with soap
and water. If gasoline spills on your
clothing, change your clothes.
EAU33520
Recommended fuel:
REGULAR UNLEADED GASO-
LINE ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
7.4 L (1.96 US gal) (1.63 Imp.gal)
ECA11400
NOTICEUse only unleaded gasoline. The
use of leaded gasoline will cause
severe damage to internal engine
parts, such as the valves and pis-
ton rings, as well as to the exhaust
system.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
91 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different
brand or premium unleaded fuel. Use of unleaded fuel will extend spark plug
life and reduce maintenance costs.

1. Rear storage compartmentThe rear storage compartment is
located under the seat. (See page
3-10.)
ECAT1031
NOTICEKeep the following points in mind
when using the rear storage com-
partment.● Since the rear storage com-
partment accumulates heat
when exposed to the sun and/
or the engine heat, do not store
anything susceptible to heat,
consumables or flammable
items inside it.
● To avoid humidity from spread-
ing through the rear storage
compartment, wrap wet articles
in a plastic bag before storing
them in the compartment.● Since the rear storage com-
partment may get wet while the
scooter is being washed, wrap
any articles stored in the rear
compartment in a plastic bag.● Do not keep anything valuable
or breakable in the rear storage
compartment.
EWAT1051
WARNING
● Do not exceed the load limit of
5 kg (11 lb) for the rear storage
compartment.● Do not exceed the maximum
load of 157 kg (346 lb) for the
vehicle.

1. SidestandThe sidestand is located on the left
side of the frame. Raise the sidestand
or lower it with your foot while holding
the vehicle upright.TIPThe built-in sidestand switch is part
of the ignition circuit cut-off system,
which cuts the ignition in certain situa-
tions. (See the following section for an
explanation of the ignition circuit cut-
off system.)

WARNING
The vehicle must not be ridden with
the sidestand down, or if the sid-
estand cannot be properly moved
up (or does not stay up), otherwise
the sidestand could contact the
ground and distract the operator,
resulting in a possible loss of con-
trol. Yamaha’s ignition circuit cut-
off system has been designed to
assist the operator in fulfilling the
responsibility of raising the sides-
tand before starting off. Therefore,
check this system regularly and
have a Yamaha dealer repair it if it
does not function properly.
EAUT1095
Ignition circuit cut-off systemCheck the operation of the sidestand
switch according to the following pro-
cedure.Turn the key on.
Put the sidestand up.Push the start switch while applying
either of the brake levers. The engine will
start.Put the sidestand down.
If the engine stalls:
The sidestand switch is OK.
WARNING
● The vehicle must be placed on
the centerstand during this in-
spection.● If a malfunction is noted, have
a Yamaha dealer check the
system before riding.

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
EAU15951
Read the Owner’s Manual carefully
to become familiar with all controls.
If there is a control or function you
do not understand, ask your Yamaha
dealer.
EWA10271
WARNING
Failure to familiarize yourself with
the controls can lead to loss of
control, which could cause an ac-
cident or injury.

TIPThis model is equipped with a lean
angle sensor to stop the engine in
case of a turnover. To start the en-
gine after a turnover, be sure to turn
the main switch to “OFF” and then to
“ON”. Failing to do so will prevent the
engine from starting even though the
engine will crank when pushing the
start switch.

Starting the engine
ECA10250
NOTICESee page 5-3 for engine break-in
instructions prior to operating the
vehicle for the rst time.
In order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, the sides-
tand must be up.
See page 3-12 for more information.
1. Turn the key to “ON”.
2. Close the throttle completely.
3. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch while applying the
front or rear brake.
If the engine does not start, re-
lease the start switch, wait a few
seconds, and then try again.
Each starting attempt should be
as short as possible to preserve
the battery. Do not crank the en-
gine more than 5 seconds on any
one attempt. If the engine does
not start with the starter motor, try
using the kickstarter.

NOTICEFor maximum engine life, never ac-
celerate hard when the engine is
cold!

TroubleshootingAlthough Yamaha scooters receive a
thorough inspection before shipment
from the factory, trouble may occur
during operation. Any problem in the
fuel, compression, or ignition systems,
for example, can cause poor starting
and loss of power.
The following troubleshooting chart
represents a quick and easy pro-
cedure for checking these vital sys-
tems yourself. However, should your
scooter require any repair, take it to a
Yamaha dealer, whose skilled techni-
cians have the necessary tools, expe-
rience, and know-how to service the
scooter properly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replace-
ment parts. Imitation parts may look
like Yamaha parts, but they are often
inferior, have a shorter service life and
can lead to expensive repair bills.
EWA15141
WARNING
When checking the fuel system, do
not smoke, and make sure there
are no open flames or sparks in
