OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
EAU17212
ParkingWhen parking, stop the engine, and
then remove the key from the main
switch.
EWA10310
w● ●● ●
●
Since the engine and exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where pedestri-
ans or children are not likely to
touch them.
● ●● ●
●
Do not park on a slope or on soft
ground, otherwise the vehicle
may overturn.
ECA10380
cCNever park in an area where there are
fire hazards such as grass or other
flammable materials.
Engine break-in
Parking
EAU16830
Engine break-inThere is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1000 km (600 mi). For
this reason, you should read the follow-
ing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1000 km (600 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throttle
operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be
avoided.
EAU16950
0 ~ 150 km (0 ~ 90 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3
throttle.
After every hour of operation, stop the
engine, and then let it cool for five to
ten minutes.
Vary the engine speed from time to time.
Do not operate the engine at one set
throttle position.150 ~ 500 km (90 ~ 300 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2
throttle.
Rev the engine freely through the gears,
but do not use full throttle at any time.
500 ~ 1000 km (300 ~ 600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 3/4
throttle.
ECA10350
cCAfter 1000 km (600 mi) of operation,
the engine oil must be changed and
the oil strainer cleaned.1000 km (600 mi) and beyond
Avoid prolonged full-throttle operation.
Vary the speed occasionally.
ECA10270
cCIf any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
immediately have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.

To install the spark plug
1. Measure the spark plug gap with a
wire thickness gauge and, if nec-
essary, adjust the gap to specifi-
cation.Spark plug gap:
0.7 ~ 0.8 mm (0.028 ~ 0.031 in)2. Clean the surface of the spark plug
gasket and its mating surface, and
then wipe off any grime from the
spark plug threads.
3. Install the spark plug with the spark
plug wrench, and then tighten it to
the specified torque.Tightening torque:
Spark plug:
NOTE:
If a torque wrench is not available when
installing a spark plug, a good estimate
of the correct torque is 1/4~1/2 turn past
finger tight. However, the spark plug
should be tightened to the specified
torque as soon as possible.
4. Install the spark plug cap.
5. Install the panel.
EAUT1460
Engine oil and oil strainerThe engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil must
be changed and the oil strainer cleaned
at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on the
centerstand.NOTE:
Make sure that the vehicle is positioned
straight up when checking the oil level.
A slight tilt to the side can result in a
false reading.2. Start the engine, warm it up for sev-
eral minutes, and then turn it off. Engine oil

The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.4. If the engine oil is below the mini-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.5. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler
hole, and then tighten the oil filler
cap.
To change the engine oil and clean
the oil strainer
1. Start the engine, warm it up for sev-
eral minutes, and then turn it off.
2. Place an oil pan under the engine
to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the engine oil filler cap and
the engine oil drain bolts A and B
to drain the oil from the crankcase.

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.
