Final transmission oilThe final transmission case must be
checked for oil leakage before each ride.
If any leakage is found, have a Yamaha
dealer check and repair the scooter. In
addition, the final transmission oil must
be changed as follows at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
1. Start the engine, warm it up by
riding the scooter for several min-
utes, and then stop the engine.
2. Place the scooter on the

before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart. Coolant
EAUT1522
To check the coolant level
The coolant level should be checked as
follows before each ride. In addition, the
coolant must be changed at the inter-
vals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
1. Place the vehicle on the
centerstand.NOTE:●
The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.
●
Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to the
side can result in a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level in the cool-
ant reservoir.

If coolant is not available, use
distilled water or soft tap water
instead. Do not use hard water
or salt water since it is harmful
to the engine.
● ●● ●
●
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possible, other-
wise the cooling system will not
be protected against frost and
corrosion.
● ●● ●
●
If water has been added to the
coolant, have a Yamaha dealer
check the antifreeze content of
the coolant as soon as possible,otherwise the effectiveness of
the coolant will be reduced.

tor cap when the engine is hot.NOTE:
If the engine overheats, see page 6-26

Valve clearanceThe valve clearance changes with use,
resulting in improper air-fuel mixture
and/or engine noise. To prevent this from
occurring, the valve clearance must be
adjusted by a Yamaha dealer at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.

throttle cable free play and, if necessary,
have a Yamaha dealer adjust it.

TiresTo maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your vehicle,
note the following points regarding the
specified tires.
Tire air pressure
The tire air pressure should be checked
and, if necessary, adjusted before each
ride.
EWA10500
w● ●● ●
●
The tire air pressure must be
checked and adjusted on cold
tires (i.e., when the temperature
of the tires equals the ambient
temperature).
● ●● ●
●
The tire air pressure must be
adjusted in accordance with the
riding speed and with the total
weight of rider, passenger,
cargo, and accessories ap-
proved for this model.
Tire air pressure (measured on cold
tires):
Up to 90 kg (198 lb):
Front:
175 kPa (25 psi) (1.75 kgf/cm
2)
Rear:
175 kPa (25 psi) (1.75 kgf/cm2)
90 kg (198 lb) to maximum load:
Front:
175 kPa (25 psi) (1.75 kgf/cm2)
Rear:

Maximum load*:
177 kg (390 lb)
* Total weight of rider, passenger,
cargo and accessories
EWA11200
wBecause loading has an enormous
impact on the handling, braking, per-
formance and safety characteristics
of your vehicle, you should keep the
following precautions in mind.● ●● ●
●
NEVER OVERLOAD THE VE-
HICLE! Operation of an over-
loaded motorcycle may result in
tire damage, loss of control, or
severe injury. Make sure that the
total weight of rider, passenger,cargo, and accessories does not
exceed the specified maximum
load for the vehicle.
● ●● ●
●
Do not carry along loosely
packed items, which can shift
during a ride.
Securely pack the heaviest items
close to the center of the vehicle
and distribute the weight evenly
on both sides.
● ●● ●
●
Adjust the tire air pressure with
regard to the load.
Check the tire condition and air
pressure before each ride.

ride. If the center tread depth reaches
the specified limit, if the tire has a nail
or glass fragments in it, or if the sidewall
is cracked, have a Yamaha dealer re-
place the tire immediately.Minimum tire tread depth (front and
rear):

from country to country. Always comply
with the local regulations.Tire information

Have a Yamaha dealer replace
excessively worn tires. Besides
being illegal, operating the ve-
hicle with excessively worn tires
decreases riding stability and
can lead to loss of control.
● ●● ●
●
The replacement of all wheel andbrake related parts, including the
tires, should be left to a Yamaha
dealer, who has the necessary
professional knowledge and ex-
perience.

Cast wheelsTo maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your motor-
cycle, note the following points regard-
ing the specified wheels.●
The wheel rims should be checked
for cracks, bends or warpage be-
fore each ride. If any damage is
found, have a Yamaha dealer re-
place the wheel. Do not attempt
even the smallest repair to the
wheel. A deformed or cracked
wheel must be replaced.
●
The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced. An
unbalanced wheel can result in
poor performance, adverse han-
dling characteristics, and a short-
ened tire life.
●
Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire sur-
face must first be “broken in” for it
to develop its optimal characteris-
tics.

The front and rear brake shoes must
be checked for wear at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart. Each brake is pro-
vided with a wear indicator, which al-
lows 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 indi-
cator reaches the wear limit line, have
a Yamaha dealer replace the brake
shoes as a set.
