Periodic maintenance and lubrication chartNOTE:● ●● ●
●
The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based maintenance, or for the UK, a
mileage-based maintenance, is performed instead.
●
From 30000 km (17500 mi), repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 6000 km (3500 mi).
Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special tools, data and techni-
cal skills.

Tires
EAUT2140
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:
175 kPa (25 psi) (1.75 kgf/cm2)
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.

1. Tire tread depth
2. Tire sidewallThe tires must be checked before each
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):
0.8 mm (0.03 in)
NOTE:
The tire tread depth limits may differ
from country to country. Always comply
with the local regulations.Tire information
This model is equipped with tubeless
tires.Front tire:

w● ●● ●
●
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.

SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGEAfter nor
mal use
Remove dirt with warm water, a mild
detergent, and a soft, clean sponge, and
then rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Use a toothbrush or bottlebrush for
hard-to-reach areas. Stubborn dirt and
insects will come off more easily if the
area is covered with a wet cloth for a
few minutes before cleaning.
After r
iding in the r
ain, near the sea or
on salt-spr
ayed roads
Since sea salt or salt sprayed on the
roads during winter are extremely cor-
rosive in combination with water, carry
out the following steps after each ride
in the rain, near the sea or on salt-
sprayed roads.
NOTE:
Salt sprayed on roads in the winter may
remain well into spring.1. Clean the scooter with cold water
and a mild detergent after the en-
gine has cooled down.
ECA10790
cCDo not use warm water since it in-
creases the corrosive action of the
salt.2. Apply a corrosion protection spray
on all metal, including chrome- and
nickel-plated, surfaces to prevent
corrosion.
After cleaning
1. Dry the scooter with a chamois or
an absorbing cloth.
2. Use a chrome polish to shine
chrome, aluminum and stainless-
steel parts, including the exhaust
system. (Even the thermally in-
duced discoloring of stainless-steel
exhaust systems can be removed
through polishing.)
3. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-
mended to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all metal, includ-
ing chrome- and nickel-plated, sur-
faces.
4. Use spray oil as a universal cleaner
to remove any remaining dirt.5. Touch up minor paint damage
caused by stones, etc.
6. Wax all painted surfaces.
7. Let the scooter dry completely be-
fore storing or covering it.
EWA10940
w● ●● ●
●
Make sure that there is no oil or
wax on the brakes or tires. If nec-
essary, clean the brake discs
and brake linings with a regular
brake disc cleaner or acetone,
and wash the tires with warm
water and a mild detergent.
● ●● ●
●
Before operating the scooter
test its braking performance and
cornering behavior.
ECA10800
cC● ●● ●
●
Apply spray oil and wax spar-
ingly and make sure to wipe off
any excess.
● ●● ●
●
Never apply oil or wax to any
rubber and plastic parts, but
treat them with a suitable care
product.
● ●● ●
●
Avoid using abrasive polishing
compounds as they will wear

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.
