EAU15593
The condition of a vehicle is the owner’s responsibility. Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpec-
tedly, even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of exposure to the elements). Any damage, fluid lea-
kage or loss of tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a tho-
rough visual inspection, to check the following points before each ride.
NOTE:
Pre-operation checks should be made each time the vehicle is used. Such an inspection can be accomplished in a very
short time; and the added safety it assures is more than worth the time involved.

WARNING
●Become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions before riding.
Consult a Yamaha dealer
regarding any control or func-
tion that you do not thoroughly
understand.
●Never start the engine or ope-
rate it in a closed area for any
length of time. Exhaust fumes
are poisonous, and inhaling
them can cause loss of cons-
ciousness and death within a
short time. Always make sure
that there is adequate ventila-
tion.
●For safety, always start the
engine with the centerstand
down.
EAU16561
Starting a cold engineECA10250
CAUTION:
See page 5-4 for engine break-in
instructions prior to operating the
vehicle for the first time.
1. Turn the key to “h”, and when
the oil level warning light comes
on, turn it to “f”.
ECA10240
CAUTION:
If the oil level warning light does
not come on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
2. Close the throttle completely.
3. While applying the front or rear
brake, start the engine by pus-hing the start switch or by pus-
hing the kickstarter lever down.
NOTE:
If the engine fails to start by pushing
the start switch, release the 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 engine
more than 5 seconds on any one
attempt. If the engine does not start
with the starter motor, try using the
kickstarter.
ECA11040
CAUTION:
For maximum engine life, never
accelerate hard when the engine is
cold!

Braking
1. Close the throttle completely.
2. Apply both front and rear brakes
simultaneously while gradually
increasing the pressure.
EWA10300
s s
WARNING
●Avoid braking hard or suddenly
(especially when leaning over
to one side), otherwise the sco-
oter may skid or overturn.
●Railroad crossings, streetcar
rails, iron plates on road cons-
truction sites, and manhole
covers become extremely slip-
pery when wet. Therefore, slow
down when approaching suchareas and cross them with cau-
tion.
●Keep in mind that braking on a
wet road is much more difficult.
●Ride slowly down a hill, as bra-
king downhill can be very diffi-
cult.
EAU16820
Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follo-
wing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
●Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
●Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
●Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at
traffic lights or at railroad cros-
sings).

Engine break-in
There 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 following 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 themsel-
ves to the correct operating clearan-
ces. During this period, prolonged
full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overhea-
ting must be avoided.
EAU17212
Parking
When parking, stop the engine, and
then remove the key from the main
switch.

WARNING
●Since the engine and exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where pedes-
trians or children are not likely
to touch them.
●Do not park on a slope or on
soft ground, otherwise the
vehicle may overturn.

Safety is an obligation of the owner.
Periodic inspection, adjustment and
lubrication will keep your vehicle in
the safest and most efficient condi-
tion possible. The most important
points of inspection, adjustment, and
lubrication are explained on the follo-
wing pages.
The intervals given in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart
should be simply considered as a
general guide under normal riding
conditions. However, DEPENDING
ON THE WEATHER, TERRAIN, GEO-
GRAPHICAL LOCATION, AND INDIVI-
DUAL USE, THE MAINTENANCE
INTERVALS MAY NEED TO BE
SHORTENED.

Coolant (only for liquid-
cooled models)
The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the coo-
lant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAUM2101
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a level surfa-
ce and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
NOTE:
●The coolant level must be chec-
ked on a cold engine since the
level varies with engine tempera-
ture.
●Make sure that the vehicle is
positioned straight up when
checking the coolant level. A
slight tilt to the side can result in
a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level through
the check window.
NOTE:
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
1. Coolant level window
2. Maximum level mark
3. Minimum level mark
3. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove the
cowling A. (See page 6-5.)

CAUTION:
●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 coo-
lant 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 ofthe coolant as soon as possi-
ble, otherwise the effective-
ness of the coolant will be
reduced.

WARNING
Because loading has an enormous
impact on the handling, braking,
performance and safety characte-
ristics of your vehicle, you should
keep the following precautions in
mind.
●NEVER OVERLOAD THE VEHI-
CLE! Operation of an overloa-
ded vehicle may result in tire
damage, loss of control, or
severe injury. Make sure that
the total weight of rider, pas-
senger, cargo, and accessories
does not exceed the specified
maximum load for the vehicle.
●Do not carry along loosely pac-
ked 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.
Tire air pressure (measured on
cold tires):
0~90 kg (0~198 lb):

Tire inspection
The 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 Yama-
ha dealer replace the tire immediately.
NOTE:
The tire tread depth limits may differ
from country to country. Always
comply with the local regulations.

WARNING
●Have a Yamaha dealer replace
excessively worn tires. Besides
being illegal, operating the
vehicle with excessively worn
tires decreases riding stability
and can lead to loss of control.
●The replacement of all wheel
and brake related parts, inclu-
ding the tires, should be left to
a Yamaha dealer, who has the
necessary professional know-
ledge and experience.
EAU21960
Cast wheels
To maximize the performance, durabi-
lity, and safe operation of your vehi-
cle, note the following points regar-
ding the specified wheels.
●The wheel rims should be chec-
ked for cracks, bends or warpage
before each ride. If any damage
is found, have a Yamaha dealer
replace the wheel. Do not
attempt even the smallest repair
to the wheel. A deformed or crac-
ked 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
handling characteristics, and a
shortened 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 characte-
ristics.
