w● ●● ●
●
Become thoroughly familiar with
all operating controls and their
functions before riding. Consult
a Yamaha dealer regarding any
control or function that you do
not thoroughly understand.
● ●● ●
●
Never start the engine or oper-
ate it in a closed area for any
length of time. Exhaust fumes
are poisonous, and inhaling
them can cause loss of con-
sciousness and death within a
short time. Always make sure
that there is adequate ventila-
tion.
● ●● ●
●
For safety, always start the en-
gine with the centerstand down.
Starting the engine
EAUT2250
Starting the engine
ECA10250
cCSee page 5-3 for engine break-in in-
structions prior to operating the ve-
hicle for the first time.1. Turn the key to “ON”.
ECAT1070
cCThe engine trouble warning light and
coolant temperature warning light
should come on for a few seconds,
then go off. If these warning lights
do not go off, have a Yamaha dealer
check their electrical circuits.2. Close the throttle completely.
3. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch while applying the front
or rear brake.NOTE:
If the engine does not start, release the
start switch, wait a few seconds, and
then try again. Each starting attempt
should be as short as possible to pre-serve 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.
ECA11040
cCFor maximum engine life, never ac-
celerate hard when the engine is
cold!

dangerous since it contains sul-
furic acid, which causes severe
burns. Avoid any contact with
skin, eyes or clothing and always
shield your eyes when working
near batteries. In case of contact,
administer the following FIRST
AID.
EXTERNAL: Flush with
plenty of water.
INTERNAL: Drink large
quantities of water or milk
and immediately call a
physician.
EYES: Flush with water for
15 minutes and seek prompt
medical attention.
● ●● ●
●
Batteries produce explosive hy-
drogen gas. Therefore, keep
sparks, flames, cigarettes, etc.,
away from the battery and pro-
vide sufficient ventilation when
charging it in an enclosed space.
● ●● ●
●
KEEP THIS AND ALL BATTER-
IES OUT OF THE REACH OF
CHILDREN.
To charge the battery
Have a Yamaha dealer charge the bat-
tery as soon as possible if it seems to
have discharged. Keep in mind that the
battery tends to discharge more quickly
if the vehicle is equipped with optional
electrical accessories.
To store the battery
1. If the vehicle will not be used for
more than one month, remove the
battery, fully charge it, and then
place it in a cool, dry place.
2. If the battery will be stored for more
than two months, check it at least
once a month and fully charge it if
necessary.
3. Fully charge the battery before in-
stallation.
4. Before installation, make sure that
the battery leads are properly con-
nected to the battery terminals.

Always keep the battery
charged. Storing a discharged
battery can cause permanent
battery damage.

type (MF) battery, which does not re-
quire any maintenance. There is no
need to check the electrolyte or to add
distilled water.NOTE:
The battery is located behind panel C.

1. FuseThe fuse holder is located beside the
battery. Remove panel C to access the
fuse. (See page 6-6.)
If the fuse is blown, replace it as follows.
1. Turn the key to “OFF” and turn off
all electrical circuits.
2. Remove the blown fuse, and then
install a new fuse of the specified
amperage.Specified fuse:
15 A
Fuse, replacing
ECAT1061
cC● ●● ●
●
Do not use a fuse of a higher
amperage rating than recom-
mended to avoid causing exten-
sive damage to the electrical
system and possibly a fire.
● ●● ●
●
After removing and installing the
main fuse, be sure to turn the
main switch from “ON” to “OFF”
three times in 3 seconds inter-
vals to initialize the idle speed
control system.
3. Turn the key to “ON” and turn on
the electrical circuits to check if the
devices operate.
4. If the fuse immediately blows again,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical system.
● ●● ●
●
To charge a sealed-type (MF)
battery, a special (constant-volt-
age) battery charger is required.
Using a conventional battery
charger will damage the battery.
If you do not have access to a
sealed-type (MF) battery
charger, have a Yamaha dealer
charge your battery.
● ●● ●
●
After installing the battery, be
sure to turn the main switch
from “ON” to “OFF” three times
in 3 seconds intervals to initial-
ize the idle speed control sys-
tem.

SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE4. Lubricate all control cables and the
pivoting points of all levers and
pedals as well as of the sidestand/
centerstand.
5. Check and, if necessary, correct
the tire air pressure, and then lift
the scooter so that both of its
wheels are off the ground. Alterna-
tively, turn the wheels a little every
month in order to prevent the tires
from becoming degraded in one
spot.
6. Cover the muffler outlet with a plas-
tic bag to prevent moisture from en-
tering it.
7. Remove the battery and fully
charge it. Store it in a cool, dry
place and charge it once a month.
Do not store the battery in an ex-
cessively cold or warm place [less
than 0 °C (30 °F) or more than 30
°C (90 °F)]. For more information
on storing the battery, see page 6-
20.NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before
storing the scooter.
