Be a Responsible Owner
As the vehicle’s owner, you are res-
ponsible for the safe and proper ope-
ration of your scooter.
Scooters are single-track vehicles.
Their safe use and operation are
dependent upon the use of proper
riding techniques as well as the
expertise of the operator. Every ope-
rator should know the following requi-
rements before riding this scooter.
He or she should:
Obtain thorough instructions
from a competent source on all
aspects of scooter operation.
Observe the warnings and main-
tenance requirements in this
Owner’s Manual.
Obtain qualified training in safe
and proper riding techniques.
Obtain professional technical
service as indicated in this
Owner’s Manual and/or when
made necessary by mechanical
conditions.
Safe Riding
Perform the pre-operation checks
each time you use the vehicle tomake sure it is in safe operating con-
dition. Failure to inspect or maintain
the vehicle properly increases the
possibility of an accident or equip-
ment damage. See page 4-1 for a list
of pre-operation checks.
This scooter is designed to carry
the operator and a passenger.
TIP
Although this scooter is designed to
carry a passenger, always comply
with the local regulations.
The failure of motorists to detect
and recognize scooters in traffic
is the predominating cause of
automobile/scooter accidents.
Many accidents have been cau-
sed by an automobile driver who
did not see the scooter. Making
yourself conspicuous appears to
be very effective in reducing the
chance of this type of accident.
Therefore:
• Wear a brightly colored jacket.
• Use extra caution when you
are approaching and passing
through intersections, sinceintersections are the most
likely places for scooter acci-
dents to occur.
• Ride where other motorists can
see you. Avoid riding in anot-
her motorist’s blind spot.
Many accidents involve inexpe-
rienced operators. In fact, many
operators who have been invol-
ved in accidents do not even
have a current driver’s license.
• Make sure that you are quali-
fied and that you only lend your
scooter to other qualified ope-
rators.
• Know your skills and limits.
Staying within your limits may
help you to avoid an accident.
• We recommend that you prac-
tice riding your scooter where
there is no traffic until you have
become thoroughly familiar
with the scooter and all of its
controls.
Many accidents have been cau-
sed by error of the scooter ope-
rator. A typical error made by the
operator is veering wide on a turn
due to excessive speed or under-

cornering (insufficient lean angle
for the speed).
• Always obey the speed limit
and never travel faster than
warranted by road and traffic
conditions.
• Always signal before turning or
changing lanes. Make sure that
other motorists can see you.
The posture of the operator and
passenger is important for proper
control.
• The operator should keep both
hands on the handlebar and
both feet on the operator foo-
trests during operation to
maintain control of the scooter.
• The passenger should always
hold onto the operator, the seat
strap or grab bar, if equipped,
with both hands and keep both
feet on the passenger foo-
trests. Never carry a passenger
unless he or she can firmly pla-
ce both feet on the passenger
footrests.
Never ride under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs.
This scooter is designed for on-
road use only. It is not suitable for
off-road use.
Protective apparel
The majority of fatalities from scooter
accidents are the result of head inju-
ries. The use of a safety helmet is the
single most critical factor in the pre-
vention or reduction of head injuries.
Always wear an approved hel-
met.
Wear a face shield or goggles.
Wind in your unprotected eyes
could contribute to an impair-
ment of vision that could delay
seeing a hazard.
The use of a jacket, substantial
shoes, trousers, gloves, etc., is
effective in preventing or redu-
cing abrasions or lacerations.
Never wear loose-fitting clothes,
otherwise they could catch on
the control levers or wheels and
cause injury or an accident.
Always wear protective clothing
that covers your legs, ankles, and
feet. The engine or exhaust sys-
tem become very hot during orafter operation and can cause
burns.
A passenger should also observe
the above precautions.
Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing
carbon monoxide can cause heada-
ches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea,
confusion, and eventually death.
Carbon Monoxide is a colorless,
odorless, tasteless gas which may be
present even if you do not see or
smell any engine exhaust. Deadly
levels of carbon monoxide can collect
rapidly and you can quickly be over-
come and unable to save yourself.
Also, deadly levels of carbon monoxi-
de can linger for hours or days in
enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. If
you experience any symptoms of car-
bon monoxide poisoning, leave the
area immediately, get fresh air, and
SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT.1

Do not run engine indoors. Even
if you try to ventilate engine
exhaust with fans or open win-
dows and doors, carbon monoxi-
de can rapidly reach dangerous
levels.
Do not run engine in poorly venti-
lated or partially enclosed areas
such as barns, garages, or car-
ports.
Do not run engine outdoors whe-
re engine exhaust can be drawn
into a building through openings
such as windows and doors.
Loading
Adding accessories or cargo to your
scooter can adversely affect stability
and handling if the weight distribution
of the scooter is changed. To avoid
the possibility of an accident, use
extreme caution when adding cargo
or accessories to your scooter. Use
extra care when riding a scooter that
has added cargo or accessories.
Here, along with the information
about accessories below, are some
general guidelines to follow if loading
cargo to your scooter:The total weight of the operator, pas-
senger, accessories and cargo must
not exceed the maximum load limit.
Operation of an overloaded vehicle
could cause an accident.
When loading within this weight limit,
keep the following in mind:
Cargo and accessory weight
should be kept as low and close
to the scooter as possible. Secu-
rely pack your heaviest items as
close to the center of the vehicle
as possible and make sure to dis-
tribute the weight as evenly as
possible on both sides of the
scooter to minimize imbalance or
instability.
Shifting weights can create a
sudden imbalance. Make sure
that accessories and cargo are
securely attached to the scooter
before riding. Check accessory
mounts and cargo restraints fre-
quently.
Properly adjust the suspension
for your load (suspension-adjus-
table models only), and check the
condition and pressure of your
tires.
Never attach any large or heavy
items to the handlebar, front fork,
or front fender. Such items can
create unstable handling or a
slow steering response.
This vehicle is not designed to
pull a trailer or to be attached
to a sidecar.
Genuine Yamaha Accessories
Choosing accessories for your vehicle
is an important decision. Genuine
Yamaha accessories, which are avai-
lable only from a Yamaha dealer, have
been designed, tested, and approved
by Yamaha for use on your vehicle.
Many companies with no connection
to Yamaha manufacture parts and
accessories or offer other modifica-
tions for Yamaha vehicles. Yamaha is
not in a position to test the products
that these aftermarket companies
produce. Therefore, Yamaha can neit-
her endorse nor recommend the use
of accessories not sold by Yamaha or
